Fragile

This event is part of: Ooh-La-La! presents Voila!

An island emerges between France and the UK. Une nouvelle civilisation?Or an accident waiting to happen?

An Island called Londris has emerged in the sea, rising like a beacon of hope between France and England.

What do we do? Start a new government? Have a big Festival? Buy some combine harvesters? Or maybe run a First Aid course so we don't kill ourselves by accident.

Join us for a hilarious, informative, bilingual evening of health and safety for the citizens of this newly found country, Liberte, Fraternite, Egalite et le Premier Secours.

Our show emerged from two things: the experiences of attending a first aid course and the question What is society?
