Hermit

by Simone de Jong Company. Presented on tour by House Theatre.

Sat 6 Apr, 11.30am

I can see a box.
No wait, is it a house?
There’s a noise coming
from inside. 
Suddenly a flap opens.
What is inside? Who is inside?

Come and meet Hermit in this inventive, funny and sensitive show about being alone and coming home. 

With amazing movement and original music, this non-verbal show is perfect for 2–7-year-olds and their grown ups.

Age guidance: 2-6 years & their grown ups
Running time: 40 mins (no interval)

“a gorgeous 40 minute show that fully involves the children in the audience in a vital, laughter-filled adventure”

Production photo of Hermit. A performer wearing a red shirt and grey shorts appears to leapfrog over a wooden box with lots of doorbells attached to the front. Photo of the large box with the performer's feet sticking out of the top. A silhouette of the performer's face and hands can be seen through the "window" in the front of the box. Photo of the wooden box, with the performer's arm stretching out from inside through a hole in the box. Their eyes are visible through another hole. A child in the audience reaches out to press a doorbell held by the performer. Another production photo. The same performer stands on one leg next to the big wooden box. The box has light projected on to it to make it look like it has a window. Production photo from Hermit. A performer is crouched inside a large wooden box. The box has a transparent panel though which we can see the perfomer.
