About

The Hideout is a vibrant and daring mix of circus, parkour, and heartfelt storytelling that captures the highs and lows of making a new friend. Through breathtaking acrobatics and playful physical theatre, Luca and Maya navigate the delicate balance of trust, boundaries, competition, and connection.

When a fallen tree becomes their secret playground, together, they turn this simple hideout into a world of daring climbs, risky jumps, and unexpected discoveries.

Original music, playful parkour and heaps of silly ideas explore the anxiety children often feel around friendships in an accessible and beautifully visual way.

Funny, touching, and spectacularly bold, The Hideout invites audiences to rediscover the bravery it takes to say, “Do you want to play?”

This largely non-verbal production is accessible for deaf audiences and for students who may not use English as a first language.
