A rolling, acrobatic theatre show

“Acrobatic virtuosity combined with poetic design."
- City Mouse Magazine, Israel
A ‘tender, post-apocalyptic love story’, The Wheel House is an acrobatic promenade show, which unfolds inside and around a circular set as it rolls with the audience walking alongside.

An enchanting story set in a dystopian future, at a time where survival relies on sharp eyes, quick hands, and above all, friendship. Join these traveller- gatherers on the road to nowhere: treading lightly, enduring quietly, and always, always moving onwards.

Acrojou’s flagship show, The Wheel House, has been touring worldwide since 2008 and is the most widely toured Without Walls commission to date.
