Dexter is an idealist inventor. Pipe is his quietly brilliant servant. Together they try to invent something extraordinary - from absolutely nothing!
The Maker invites audiences into a world full of physical comedy, visual surprises and strange magical experiments that teeter between magnificence and disaster.
The team behind the festival hit A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings have created a fantastically playful and wordless show taking inspiration from Beckett, Borges and Buster Keaton. With clever design and a good dose of humour, this show appeals to young and old alike.
Co-produced by Riverbank Arts Centre and Mermaid Arts Centre.
