CURRENT SHOWS

"ALL ABOARD" / "EN VOITURE SVP"
"Everybody has the fantasy of being on that train
which whistles in the night".
An interactive parable turning reality into fantasy and
blurring the boundaries between observer and performer, Oskar presents
a voyage into the great unknown.
Follow a toy locomotive as it travels through sublime
worlds created on stage and finally journeys its way through the whole
audience.
This skilled and delightfully profound parody of the
human condition explores the whole wide circle of life and death, wisdom
and ignorance, laughter and tears.
- "Utterly hilarious,
sweet and never failing to impress, Greder’s show is as close
to perfect as I’ve seen in quite some time."
Australian Stage, Australia 2007

well enough to capture its genius. It is simply a play that must be
