Mute Matt is a man of few words… or no words at all actually. Drawing on inspiration from silent films and vaudeville, Gobsmacked is a comedy show where the inanimate come to life. Music, clowning and props help this strange man get through the world. *There will be audience participation!*
The Gobsmacked show sees the Mute cast as Magritte's Son of Man. When the gallery closes for the evening the painting comes to life to explore the world around him. Long lines are drawn with silly sketches, each one culminating in a tableau of a famous painting. The show culminates in the entire audience becoming one large painting with our Mute at the centre.
