A music-filled performance from childish world leaders

What does a toddler and your average world leader have in common? Turns out quite a lot.

In BullyBully, two world leaders meet in no man’s land. What follows is an encounter between two childish but powerful adults. The two world leaders battle it out for the top spot using laughter, dance and movement contests. With humour and theatrics, BullyBully invites you to think about conflict and resolution. 

Don’t miss these ego-driven, grown-up world leaders elicit belly laughing with their slapstick comedic dance battles and childish quarrels.   

Is your upper lip feeling a little breezy post-performance? No matter. Naturally, stick on mustaches will be provided as BullyBully wraps up so families can dress up as the performers on stage. Photo opportunities will also be available with the two world leaders if they decide to make their amends.

Winner of a Zilveren Krekel (Silver Crickets Youth Theatre award) for Most Impressive Stage Production in 2022.
