Ellis Pearson style theatre is easily adapted for the industrial and corporate market. It is easy to transport, can be performed in unique and unusual places – on top of a front end loader, in a board room, at the bottom of a garden! The clients’ message is included in such a way to make it clear, but conveying it with huge fun and laughter in order to hold the audiences’ attention. There is also always a racial and language blend thus making the work ideal “rainbow” fare. As it is highly visual, language barriers are easily crossed. It is truly African in spirit.

Ellis Pearson’s latest theatre piece deals with the environmental issues of climate change, re-greening and biodiversity. The creation and rehearsal process was funded by eThekwini Municipality Environmental Planning and Climate Protection Department and Wildlands Conservation Trust.
What in the world is going on? Everything is changing! And now there is a man up a tree! What’s he doing there? Why won’t he come down? What on earth is going on? Come... Come and find out. Bring everyone, including your dog. Because what happens there will affect us all. Come and be part of the reality of theatre. Come and be enchanted. Come and be tickled. You’ll laugh – a lot! Come and play. After all, we all belong. This is our world! And ... there is a man up a tree. |
