Trunk Theatre Project’s performance, Blub Blub, will feel unlike anything you’ve ever seen before, but also comfortingly reminiscent of your primary school theatre productions.
Set within an aquarium, the show follows two fish as they endeavour to escape from their confinements. The performance is a delightfully creative execution of an endearingly simple plot, achieved by inventive means. The homemade, garishly bedazzled hats may at first seem a weak attempt at resembling a fish tail, but reality is suspended when the spotlight casts a perfect fish silhouette upon the wall. The bubble machine-cum-cigarette brings a perfectly distilled comedic touch, and the glass walls of the bowl are built in our imaginations by a single note on the xylophone whenever the characters make contact.
