Punt

Two Oxbridge undergrads descend from their ivory towers and are off for a relaxing punt. Blissfully unaware of reality and physics the boat drifts down busy streets as they regale and serenade the public.

Over the years one of Artizani’s most popular shows: a unique and quintessentially English walkabout that oozes charm and is playfully surreal.

This promenade performance is based on an adapted electric vehicle which can cover quite a large area if required – it works both as a charming image glimpsed from a distance and as character based comic interaction at closer range.

The punt also works as the “Ferry over the river Styx” – for Halloween or any ghoulish event – dressed with cobwebs and creepy crawlies, with Death standing in the stern and his faithful servant at the helm the boat drifts along on its way to the underworld.

Following on from the success of original nautical walkabout ‘Punt’, this ‘street boat’ is based on an 8ft clinker-built skiff. The show extends the fantastically surreal images of Punt and carries two hilarious and eccentric characters into your event.

The shipwrecked Captain and Boatswain’s mate have been adrift since 1786 and are more than a little confused! Batten down the hatches as we re-live every seafaring cliché from Treasure Island to Moby Dick.
