With Splash, Jam.Shenanigans shares their love for comically absurd circus with a wide audience.

Splash takes the audience on an escape journey into an absurd dream world, far removed from everyday reality. At its heart is a swimming pool filled with 25,000 balls, where watersports and dramatic cannonballs kick off a wild juggling extravaganza.

Jam.Shenanigans promotes healthy madness as a joyful antidote to an increasingly polarised and self-deprecating society. With Splash, they aim to spark the audience’s imagination and celebrate the beauty of a youthful spirit.

All of this is brought to life through object manipulation, physical theatre, and visual illusions — all drenched in a generous dose of humour and playful chaos.
