DESCRIPTION:Friendship is wonderful… and tricky. Especially when you’re Luca. \nThe 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. \nWhen a fallen tree becomes their secret playground\, together\, they turn this simple hideout into a world of daring climbs\, risky jumps\, and unexpected discoveries. \nFunny\, touching\, and spectacularly bold\, The Hideout invites audiences to rediscover the bravery it takes to say\, “Do you want to play?” \nOriginal music\, playful parkour and heaps of silly ideas explore the anxiety children often feel around friendships in an accessible and beautifully visual way.
