Two mates, two swings, one park. Buddy, a mime artist and Pal, a fine artist, along with the hats that changed their lives, share an intriguing story of a friendship so powerful that it speaks without words… The entire show is performed without dialogue and makes use of evocative movement, acrobatics, comical mime, sensational music, dazzling special effects and impressive stunts. It’s a fun and whacky visual feast for the eyes with a universal message for young and old.

It is fast-paced, fun entertainment for the whole family, where even the topic of death is dealt with in a lighthearted manner, and the message is timeless and universal. The piece is performed entirely without dialogue, making it accessible to absolutely anyone from any nationality, background, creed and culture.

It combines the elements of mime, acrobatics, clowning and physical movement with a profoundly moving and powerful narrative to create a piece of visual theatre that is unlike anything of its kind.

“You are never in any doubt about their actions or intentions. The storyline is crystal clear.”- Jennifer de Klerk

   Saw this show 2 years ago in Grahamstown. It is a visual feast; delicately evocative, playful and delightfully funny. It engages the mind and the heart.

   Before watching this I had a neutral feeling towards physical theatre, after seeing Hats it made me completely fall in love with it! This show made me laugh out loud, sob uncontrollably and left me with the lasting feeling that I had just experienced what physical theatre and indeed theatre in general should be. It sparked a true love for theatre… one that I did not know was lacking until I found this. Hats is a show that everyone must see!
