The Cube Microplex & the artist Ergo Phizmiz + many others from the local & cosmic community are putting on a Do-It-Together star filled show. It's called 'The Quantum Horse' & it is a moving & adventurous 21st century fairy tale pantomime.

'The Quantum Horse' is all-ages live show for those that are not keen on Panto and for those that adore it!

The Quantum Horse story is action & pleasure packed. What happens when the panto horse splits in two & goes on the run through space and time? A thrilling farcical chase is what occurs! It's behind you, it's in front of you...it's all over the place! A story of being multiple and being together. It's a show that reflects on the long traditions of pantomime whilst attempting to breathe new (h)airs & graces into the medium.

An interview with the Panto Horse!

Question: Who is 'The Quantum Horse' show for?
Panto Horse: Its an all-ages show. 8 shows incl 2 matinees. For all peoples & futurist families. We are making tickets as cheap as possible. They start from £6. Neigh.

Q: When is this community extravaganza?
PH: Early February 2023. Feb is is the new Xmas and New Year btw. Buy some tickets as a Xmas present. Stare into my beautiful hazel eyes.

Q: What will it be like and who is in it?
PH: Rousing, epic and a giggle. There will be music & science, interaction & illusions, satire & fantasy. Expect plenty of community actions & wild solos from trained actors & the Cube workforce + special guest slots from radical and caring people each night. Give us a stroke will you.

Q: Why are you doing this, it's not normal Cube behaviour!
PH:To make light in times of darkness. To create a new fairy tale, inspired by contemporary developments in the magical world of quantum science, that goes back to the roots of pantomime through archaic performance techniques and stagecraft, with original songs, and a humour that is joyous, absurd and inclusive. Giddy up humans.

Q: Can I help out or be involved?
PH: Sure! You can buy a ticket, donate extra funds to help support it & if you want volunteer to be part of the production contact [email protected] for more details. Carrot please.

Extra info: From its roots in Roman comedy and through the Commedia dell Arte, the English clowning traditions of Grimaldi, the Music Hall, and its contemporary incarnation as centrepiece of the festive season, the medium of pantomime has at its centre the notion of a party, a unifying experience, a celebration. With this in mind, the Cube pantomime would be a totally contemporary work. Come see The Quantum Horse, get giddy.
