“Meet Tooti and Fruity – a ‘pear’ of fruit obsessed, eccentric players! After spending at least 40 years working in a fruit packing factory together they have embarked upon an adventure to bring toots and fruits to the masses!
Having been the supervisor of fruit squeezing at the factory, Tooti now utilises her skills in generating a fruit chorus, whilst Fruity – taste tester extraordinaire – entices the hoards to taste the goodness of her fruit platter.
Are you ready to cut the cheese with these berserk banana battling beauties?”
Tooti Fruity is the creation of Kerfuffle Street Theatre – a collaboration between Natalie Speake and Gil Burns, two West Yorkshire based professional performance artists who work together to produce playful, interactive works. "Tooti Fruity" is a flamboyant, all singing, all dancing street theatre extravaganza.
The piece works as a 30-40 min strolling act that engages the public using song, dance and audience participation. Tooti and Fruity guide the viewers on a fun and insightful investigation into the majesty and mystery of fruit.
A tantalising taste of Tooti Fruity may well include:
-
A new take on Little Richard’s "Tutti Frutti"
-
The original Berry Song
-
An insightful quiz – is it t’ berry or not t’ berry?
-
The Maraca Caraca
-
The Banana Bonanza
Tooti Fruity would be at home at any outdoor event - a food festival or farmer’s market, music or arts festival, family fun day or even a school fete!
Coming Soon...
Kerfuffle Street Theatre are currently beavering away on a couple of new acts!
The Twizzler Sisters
The Twizzler sisters - a Christmassy trio of singing and dancing turkeys - have had to hire a musician from Rent-a-Goose after Tracey Turkey mysteriously went missing last December. Unfortunately Gloria Goose isn't up to scratch on the dance moves and brings chaos to a previously tight and jolly Christmas Spectacle!
Clueish!
Whodunnit? A pair of hapless detectives strive to recreate the scene of a heinous crime, but will need to recruit some members of the public to help them really visualise what happened. Expect suspects, chalk lines and disaster as this 30 min semi-improvised static show unfolds.
