This show belongs to the FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026 season. This season is now over.

A performer bursts up through the top of a large cylindrical water tank, water spraying around them as they emerge dramatically. Behind the tank sits a weathered boat façade with colourful sideshow-style signage featuring illustrated mermaids and bold lettering. Bright stage lights illuminate the scene, creating a lively carnival atmosphere.

A performer in a red costume arches dramatically over the rim of a large water tank, their back bending over the edge as water streams from their hair. Their arms stretch wide in a theatrical pose, while the tank’s wet glass surface reflects stage lighting, creating a striking, high-energy scene.

A performer inside a large water tank crouches with a wide, playful grin, holding a pair of metal handcuffs. Water droplets cling to the glass as they strike a dramatic escape-artist pose. Colourful illustrated mermaid-themed signage surrounds the tank in the background.
