Night-Train

Tellus Theatre Company presents Night Train!

A new physical theatre production written by Oliver Ellard, directed by Zoë Boyd, original music by Mukti Murton, and original choreography by Noa Zatta and Leah Zhelyazkova.

This philosophical comedy revolves around Maia, who wakes up blindfolded and bound to a chair at the back of a train with absolutely no idea how she arrived there. Befriending a Chorus of merry morons, they discover that their train is nothing like the trains back home – journeying through countless carriages, facing a series of dilemmas, curious characters, and confusing signage. Maia and her unruly troupe seek answers to questions like – Who’s driving? How do we get off this train? And most importantly – What is the true magic in a Sandwich?

Exploring the range of comedy through slapstick, puppetry, and occasional tumultuous chaos, this show is an absolute must-see for anyone who adores or abhors trains!

Tellus Theatre Company is a multidisciplinary collective whose international origins have led to a theatre that is inclusive of storytelling traditions around the globe. Our collective training at East 15 Acting School and our deep desire to push the boundaries of our medium unites us in a deep regard for all theatre and performance art across cultures.

In kinship, this company houses practitioners who specialise in music, dance, physical theatre, and cultural and masked performance. We work to expose new generations of both theatre makers and theatre lovers to a world that can only be found within themselves.
