The humble pallet is the centrepiece of this unique show from Swiss performers Cédric Gagneur and Marc Oosterhoff, which blends dance, theatre and contemporary circus to hypnotic effect.

Palette(s) is an ode to balance, and to falling. It’s a show about trying, failing, trying again and succeeding. And it’s a homage to things we all take for granted – like a simple wooden pallet, an object we all usually ignore but that here is the star of the show.

Beautiful, mesmerising and suitable for audiences of all ages, Palette(s) shows how even the most mundane items can be used to make magic. You won’t have seen anything quite like it.
