The Show Globe

The Show Globe is a unique form of roaming street theatre that transforms public spaces into places of wonder, curiosity and connection.

Developed from an original concept and touring internationally since 2016, The Show Globe pioneered a distinctive new theatrical format: self-contained living worlds that glide through audiences, combining intimate character performance with immersive visual design, music and interactive special effects.

Created for festivals and public spaces, The Show Globe combines the accessibility of a walkabout act with the depth, detail and audience engagement of a fully realised theatrical production.

Each Show Globe contains a self-contained living world brought to life by a captivating character using physical theatre, mime, music and interactive push button special effects. Gliding gently through festivals and events, these immersive micro-theatres invite audiences to step closer and become part of the experience.

Unlike traditional walkabout acts, every Show Globe offers a complete theatrical experience within. Audiences may discover a vibrant magical garden filled with curious creatures, a contemplative world of reflection and human connection, an enchanting underwater realm, or a sparkling winter wonderland. Music, lighting, interactive special effects and character performance combine to create intimate encounters that are personal, memorable and genuinely surprising.

Far more than a visual spectacle, The Show Globe creates shared experiences between strangers, friends and families. Children return again and again to discover new details, while adults find themselves drawn into unexpected moments of participation, connection and delight. Theatre is experienced up close, making every encounter accessible, engaging and unforgettable.

Available as individual productions or combined as a spectacular roaming ensemble, The Show Globe can populate an event with up to four simultaneous living worlds. Each production offers a distinct atmosphere and style of interaction, allowing programmers to create anything from a single intimate encounter to a large-scale roaming experience across an entire festival site.

Designed for year-round outdoor performance, The Show Globe is fully weatherproof and performs successfully in sun, wind, rain and snow. Equally at home in daylight or after dark, it has become a popular feature of street theatre festivals, outdoor arts festivals, light festivals, city celebrations and public events throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
