Award winning PanGottic Circus-Theatre is a young British/Israeli company based in Bristol, UK, dedicated to creating and producing fresh new work which combines elements and techniques from physical theatre and contemporary circus for indoor, outdoor and street performance.
Thingamabob is Inspired by the famous Rube Goldberg Machines; “a comically involved, complicated invention, laboriously contrived to perform a simple operation” (Webster’s New World Dictionary). This is a spectacle which brings a highly original devised, ball slinging, self-exploding contraption to the public where they, the audience, become part of the machine themselves and play a role to ensure the complete satisfaction of watching one of these wonderful chain reaction machines work.
This show uses a mixture of circus, invention and comedy to bring a mesmerising piece of gadgetry to life. All presented with PanGottic’s charm and wit captivating the audience right up until the moment the machine animates itself, its inventor and its audience.
