Keith Johnstone’s MAESTRO IMRPO features an international cast of professional improvisers all vying to be the last impro standing.
This year's Maestro Impro will be dedicated to Jamie Perkins, who we lost earlier this year. Jamie has always been an incredible support to our festival and we look forward to celebrating him through spontaneity and laughter.
Run time 110 minutes with a 15 minute intermission.
An improvised show based on stuff you don’t need anymore.
That old vase you got from your aunt years ago, your ex’s worn-out t-shirt or last week’s newspaper - they’re all going to be thrown away sooner or later. Why not do it at our show - and we’ll tell a story from it.
Puppetry, storytelling and classical theatre blend in this improvised show based on stuff the audience members bring that they’d rather just throw away. With these objects as starting points we dive into all sorts of stories; funny, strange, sad or poetic. In a world of mass consumption, where we get more and more things and everything becomes disposable, Det Andre Teatret offers a show to reimagine the stuff we throw away - what they are, what they could have been and what we wish they were.
Directed by: Mats Eldøen
Produced by Det Andre Teatret

The starting point of "Murder, She Improvised" is different every time, but the cruel act is always the same: A murder is been committed! In true Agatha Christie's style, we are then introduced to a number of suspects with more or less to hide. An experienced detective who happens to be on the spot takes the job of spinning up all the threads and finding the killer. And why two brooms in the throat? Well, the audience comes with suggestions for the murder weapon, alibi and motif. Here you get good old-fashioned crime and up to several murders in one evening! Perhaps it is a disgusting billionaire who is found killed with a hand soap in a Canadian mountain hotel! Or maybe we are on an old estate in Scotland and a famous actress is lying motionless with two brooms in the throat?

"A rip roaring show of immense proportions."
People. Poppers. Piñatas. Throwing a party is never easy.
A high energy, highly interactive evening of comedy with former WWF superstar El Jaguar, a masked Mexican wrestler, who's turned his attention to celebrating mediocrity and elevating the average. With "enough energy to power the national grid" El Jaguar uses his quick wit and a desperate need to entertain to "to keep the energy buoyed and the silliness coming". Part comedy show, part fiesta, this show is always funny.
