3 Men in a Tub
Three Men in a Tub follows the story of three men who have been travelling together for a long time. Exiled from their countries due to war, drought or political turmoil. After over 300 years of travelling, all three characters — the butcher, the baker and a candlestick maker — have lost their trades as other rituals and habits have taken over their daily lives and their desire to find a home.
A processional and static street theatre spectacle built around a beautiful ‘homemade’ mobile vehicle that serves as a home for three tradesmen, Three Men in a Tub is physical theatre, sometimes comedic and sometimes tragic, incorporating sound and music.
Three Men in a Tub is both a sculptural installation (as viewed while still) and a series of narrative episodes (of varying lengths) that can be linked together by the audience and/or viewed in isolation.
