“What an awesome, unique and highly entertaining piece of theatre. I've never seen anything like it before. Gaëtan Schmid was BRILLIANT!” L Clingman
THE TERROR
OF BEING CALLED IN FRONT OF THE CLASS
​
Gaëtan genially stretches this all-to-familiar moment-in-time into a cinematographic apocalyptic adventure.
​
To a thrilling mashup soundtrack of instantly recognisable film dialogues, scores and sound effects, Schmid explosively re-enacts hundreds of iconic movie scenes, to breath taken effect.
​
All while sitting on a teeny-weeny little school chair.
“Insanely mad funny brilliant fast sexy funny physical theatre” Weekend Special
