Look Up

An exciting, playful and energetic collaboration of circus, puppetry and theatre

A circus puppetry show suitable for all ages.

Why is everyone always looking down?

Playful and fearless with a curiosity for birds and flying, Robyn reminds us all that we should dare to look up.

“Hikapee’s Look Up is one of the highlights from this year. We’d unknowingly walked in and around their set made of four large ladder struts before, but now a pair of trapeze swings had been attached. It’s a show about our obsession with screens, reminding us what we’ll find if we just look up from our black mirrors. The four amazingly talented acrobats left the audience gasping, in awe of their skills. With masterful puppetry too, the show wowed every crowd over the weekend.”
Just So Festival 2018, Children's Theatre Reviews

Look Up is a celebration of what we can see if we step outside of our everyday lives, and embrace the world around us. The show takes place on a 5 metre high aerial rig and explores the relationship between circus performer, puppet and audience, with a completely original soundtrack.
