Enter a world of pure imagination and wonder with former Cirque du Soleil star clown and mime artist Julien Cottereau.

In Imagine Toi, Cottereau plays a naive, playful and adorable little boy. Using only the potent powers of the imagination and a startling variety of vocal sound effects, Julien creates a magical world from nothing. Endless fun and games can be had with invisible balls, chewing gum, dogs of all shapes and sizes, a wild beast or two and a fairytale princess.

After a year-long sell-out season in Paris and winning the 2007 Moliere Award, Imagine Toi has enchanted audiences across the world. Showcased at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival, the performance was highly-spoken of and well received by both audience and critics.

Julien Cottereau reconnects the audience with their sense of childhood wonder in a show of joyous simplicity and pure entertainment. A show for children and for the child within everyone.

“Five star family entertainment.” - Public Reviews, UK
“Edinburgh Fringe: the 10 best shows for kids, No. 2!” - The Guardian, UK
“Subtle, poetic, extremely funny ... a delightful family show.” - Sunday Telegraph, Sydney

Suitable for audiences aged 4 and over.
Duration: approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, no interval
