The whole theatre is transformed into an installation glowing with light and video images in this new show especially created for young people with Complex Disabilities or an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Inspired by the sounds and the images of blues music, from Mali to Memphis, this is a highly interactive and multi-sensory performance, as much about touch and scent as it is about seeing and hearing, that can be readily adapted to the requirements of each audience member. From its beginning in 1981, Oily Cart has challenged accepted definitions of theatre and audience. In particular they have created delightful, multi-sensory, highly interactive productions for the very young and for young people with Complex Disabilities. Original scripts draw on a vast array of theatrical styles and techniques, and the company has blended acrobats with automata, didgeridoos with digital images, hip hop with hydro pools, and actors with aromatherapy, to engage with audiences that other theatre just can't reach. www.oilycart.org.uk
