- 55 minutes
Our all-star troupe is led by Fringe-favourite Kat Letwin in the title role in an enchanting performance that stretches the conventions of comedy and tragedy, devised theatre, clown, mask and physical theatre. Supported by a cast of professional theatre creators, seasoned Fringe veterans and their adult artist children, Mistila and the Motlies cavort to shake things up... or at least, turn them inside out! The world may seem divisive and frightening, but above all, hope, light and joy still exist.

Audience participation details
The characters are on a mission wandering, at time, throughout the house. Occasionally, support will be solicited from pre-selected volunteers who'll identify themselves pre-show. They'll be seated in reserved seating on the aisles and front row for safe and easy access. House lights will be used for these audience interactions.
Sensory description
The Delightful Chaos is a fast-paced, spirited and frolicking adventure with campy dialogue, physical comedy and a dash of song and dance. Recorded sound effects contrasting nature and the sounds of war will be played briefly at the beginning and end of show. Costumes portray the fantastical cosmos of six travellers on a magical and timeless quest to cure world-weariness.
