Spark! is live street theatre: intricate, driving drumming, playful illuminated characters and audiences drawn into the heart of the show. Powerful in daylight, extraordinary at dusk and unforgettable after dark.

What you're booking

Spark! is live street theatre built on rhythm, movement, light and character. A cast of playful, inquisitive characters drum their way into the heart of a crowd, teasing, gathering and delighting an audience, with no language barrier and no stage required. The theatre and the human connection are what people remember.

Everything is made by the company: the drums, the costumes, the lighting, the music, all handmade and refined over fourteen years of touring to more than 40 countries. The illumination exists to light the characters, which is why Spark! works in daylight, at dusk and after dark, indoors and out. Tell us about your event and we will shape the show around it.

Roaming show

Sets that move through your event, gathering people as they go. Perfect for streets, squares, foyers and festival sites.

Static show

A choreographed centrepiece performance for a stage, arena or gathered crowd. The big moment of the night.

Parade

A moving wall of rhythm and light. Spark! has led parades and processions from village high streets to international carnivals.

Outdoor events often book a blend of all three: roaming sets that gather the crowd, a parade that brings everyone to the space, and a static show as the centrepiece.

I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time and walked away thinking that it was the best thing I've ever seen.

The Great Estate Festival, 2025

The show went down a storm with audiences. I thought you were going to get mobbed at one point! It's great to have a show that works equally well in daytime and evening.

Lyndsey Stephenson

We still talk about it to this day! The energy, the visuals, and of course, the music were absolutely incredible.
