LAUREN LAVERNE
ICHI, from Nagoya in Japan, takes the notion of a one-man band to new limits, combining his quirky handmade instrument inventions (Stilt-bass, Kalilaphone, Balloon-pipes, Hatbox-pedal-drum, Tapumpet, Percussion-shoes & Hattrick-hat) with steel-drum, ping-pong balls, typewriter, toys & everyday objects all in the space of one short set.
We’re excited for next week’s DISRUPT 2026 shows!
Three nights of bold, strange, intimate and uncompromising live work.

Boxed In • Mon 25 May • 11.30am & 2pm • Ages 3-6
Meet Derek and Jon, two friends trying to understand life’s strange instructions. When “stop” means “go”, “up” turns into “down” and no one explains why – what do you do? Everyone else seems to know the way, but what if you just don’t get it?
A quirky, thought-provoking exploration of the unspoken rules that shape our lives.
