Welcome to Avanti Display

Avanti Display produce and perform an essentially English
street theatre with shows that combine comedy, surrealism,
farce and spectacle.

Utilising their skills in creative engineering and their trademark of using water in unexpected ways they produce shows with dramatic, often beautiful and comic effects.

A more recent evolution is the development of the large scale, site specific, collaborative project - Hydromania!, notably at The National Theatre, Trafalgar Square and Manchester Town Hall.

The company has toured the length and breadth of the U.K and Europe, appeared at festivals as far afield as Korea, Noumea and Australia and have taken part in British Council tours to Thailand and China.

"we are laughing helplessly, most of us, at the sheer bloody cheek of it, the daft logic, the wit, the invention and the humanity. We are soaked. It is a beautiful moment."

From an essay by Cath Staincliffe from Paul Herrmann's book 'Playing with Fire'.
