about the company

Autojeu Theatre have been performing at Fringe Theatrefest since 2012, debuting with How To Climb Mount Everest. Since then they have appeared at eight TheatreFests bring their own unique brand of comic physical storytelling with shows Tramps Like Us, Aesop's Fables, BEOWULF, One Man Peter Pan and One Man King Arthur. The company is devoted to making playful, fun and imaginative work.

Here are some selected reviews from Autojeu shows:

"Incredibly funny and all the time gripping and resourceful.”

“Despite some dazzling other shows at Prague Fringe this year, this is easily one of the best.”

“Pythonesque in their approach, mercurial in their depictions, irreverent in their storytelling, skilled in their craft, delightful in their song”

“At its heart is an unlikely, but genuinely remarkable, comic duo.”

Alongside their imaginative physical storytelling the company also perform comedic, clown-ish, shows that often invite, and welcome the audience into a bizarre, magical and fantastical world in which everything becomes possible... and in which very little makes sense! Escaping Event Horizons follows on in this mould. The audience will be taken to the edge of time and back again, witnessing the ends of civilisations, worlds, planets and solar systems! If you have seen (and enjoyed!) The World and Stuff, Organised Chaos and The Idea then you will love this show!
