Yes it's rocket science! Brand new for Autumn 2007, Space Circus is a touring show for Yorkshire schools which looks at all aspects of outer-space exploration: both real and imagined..

Setpoint, West Yorkshire, an organisation that exists to enliven the teaching and learning of STEM subjects – Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, has commissioned Chol to create a learning engagement tool using drama to enrich young people’s understanding of the science of space.

Set in 3 inflatable artist-designed pods, the story takes place in a lunar hotel on Jupiter’s moon, Europa, and in a space craft. Space Circus takes on technology and the stars; poetry and astrophysics, aliens and alienation; maths, myths and magic and will take young people on an unforgettable mission that asks: what’s it really like to be a scientist and asks, are we really alone?
