Drop in, cut back, and hang ten with us this summer!

Get ready to ride the wave of excitement as our daily dance and theatre pop-up show takes over the Museum throughout the summer holidays. Bursting with high-energy aerial dance, humour, and seaside vibes, Wipeout is an unforgettable, fun-filled show.

Dive into the surf, paddle out back, and immerse yourself in the magic of movement and music, all inspired by our SURF! exhibition and the golden age of vintage surf culture.

Created by two of Cornwall’s leading performance companies, Cscape and Off the Wall, Wipeout fuses impressive physical theatre with dazzling aerial choreography. Expect twists, flips, and spins that echo the flow of the ocean, as wave-powered movement brings a vibrant cast of characters to life – there’ll be sun seekers and surfers and even the odd dramatic wipeout!

What to expect:

· A playful, interactive show for all ages

· Colourful characters and seaside silliness

· Daring aerial dance that will leave you wide-eyed

· Everything ‘surf’ – from wetsuits to waves and surfboards to sea creatures!

Cscape brings 20 years of storytelling magic and character-filled performance to unusual spaces, while Off the Wall adds the wow-factor with their jaw-dropping aerial artistry. Together, they promise a joyful, high-energy show that’s full of heart, soul, and seaside sunshine.

Wipeout is suitable for all ages – from tots to teens, groms to grans!
