SOUP

SOUP! is inspired by the tastes and smells of generations of home cooking. It is a comical live performance where two lively chefs entice the audience into making a delicious and unique Soup together, with clowning antics, dance routines and a captivating nonsense language which draws you into their surreal and joy filled kitchen. This is a family show suitable for ages 0-99 that will make you laugh! The making of this show was also inspired by workshopping with diverse groups across Scotland including collaborating in 2024 with the inspiring creativity of the children of p.6 and p.7 of Forthview Primary School. MoonSlide is an inclusive company that encourages relaxed performances and accessibility. Approximate length of show- 40 minutes. Contains cooking smells and herbs, musical sounds and some bangs which will be indicated during the show Tickets: Pay what you can, at the door and online at https://www.ticketsource.com/whats-on/argyll/craignish-village-hall
