We bring a trailer full of games, nostalgia, fun, jokes, and laughter for both children and adults—where everyone gets young again in the blink of an eye.
Come turn the crank, catch a few eggs, shoot down some beers, and fight for the heart of the pub landlady. Or give it a real go with the hammer and find out whether you’re a true champ—or if it’s all just a big mess. Come stumble with us while the whole world spins around you, or sweeten life for the kids and give them a proper run for their money. Seek for pearls from the bottom of the sea, try to slip past a giant kraken, or sail successfully through a whale bay and deliver your cargo safely to port. With Pája the Sailor, you can strike a fair deal—or just get your arm or chest stamped and walk away with a badass tattoo everyone will envy.
This is not a theatre performance, but a site-specific installation. It consists of a series of interactive games, all hand-carved and hand-painted. The games are inspired by puppetry, folk games, historical fairground attractions, and the phenomenon of mechanical arcade machines. Our aim is to entertain all age groups and create opportunities for intergenerational interaction. Most of the games therefore require more than one player and are designed to be enjoyed by children, parents as well as grandparents.
