ARTISTIC POLICY
For the last 35 years, in nearly 70 countries, the award-winning Natural Theatre has been making the general public stop in their tracks and laugh out loud. Combining a unique style of visual comedy with an impeccable eye for detail, the company produces a delightfully absurd kind of street theatre, which transcends cultural and language barriers. Its walkabout performances range from stereotypical British characters to surreal eccentrics and it performs all year round to bring a humorous touch or memorable intervention to any event, in every conceivable situation.
