Chotto Ookii Theatre Company
(pronounced: choh-toe oh-key th-ee-at-are com-pan-knee)

Chotto Ookii’s award winning debut ‘And Even My Goldfish’
showcases our distinctive blend of clowning, choreography and
visual spectacle in all its low-tech glory.


This fast paced and surreal production invites the audience into the mind of a severely troubled man. His neurotic rampage is peppered with vacuum cleaner based assaults, disembodied dancing legs and an ever so slightly worrying growth on his neck.


As he begins to lose his tenuous grip on reality, increasingly losing himself in his fantasies and visions of an idyllic past, we start to realise that he may be losing something more than just his mind.

Winner of the 2006 Total Theatre award for best newcomer.
Thus Far And No Further
Total Theatre Award Winners Chotto Ookii invite you into a world where insanity is average and consistency is everything.

Beneath the clattering of ancient machinery and dormant furnaces lies a surreal workshop designed solely to feed a strange addiction. But what if your supply chain is dependant on three bizarre characters, using technology which makes the industrial revolution look, well...revolutionary. When a plague of surprisingly rhythmic vermin threatens the production line, disastrous consequences seem inevitable.

Chotto Ookii continue to test the definitions of physical theatre, seamlessly combining elements of clown-like comedy, choreography, puppetry and breathtaking visuals.

We all have our roles.
We become dependant...
...Addicted to them.
In order to ESCAPE
you have to WANT to leave.
