A PILGRIM IN SEARCH OF A BULL NAMED CARLO

adelaide fringe 2026
THE LAB, FOOL’s paradise: 25th feb - 1st mar
main theatre, goodwood theatres: 6th - 8th mar

Following the footprints of the elusive bull (in the Zen tradition of the Ten Ox-Herding pictures), an accidental pilgrim embarks on a journey to recover her lost faith in love, or perhaps faith itself. Blending physical theatre, ritual and philosophical enquiry, this clown-based solo work takes us on an unpredictable and timeless quest through Rome, Athens and Jerusalem - the great cities of myth, reason and revelation that may just save us yet.
