Wally Watthead and his lost glow
An innovative theatrical performance using magic, clowning, mime, black light theatre, video, various special effects, humour and plenty of compassion.
This adventurous and theatrical circus performance is for both, young and old alike. On stage there is an enlarged version of Polly’s bedside table. On it, we see a cell phone, a bedside lamp and a picture of Polly. All is going well, until, one day, the light bulb on Wally Watthead’s head goes out. Wally’s friend, Simon Simcard, the multimedia cell phone, tries to help Wally search for his light. Their search is the cue for the magic to commence. Wally Watthead gets up to all sorts of things, like when he relaxes a bit too much - and ends up levitating in the air or shrinking himself down to Lilliput size. Then things get totally out of hand when the object of Wally’s affections, Polly Picture, starts to come to life.
