Oxford-based Mandala Theatre Company have gained a reputation for diverse, accessible performances with their mission to change young lives, build communities and foster social justice. Their latest production sees them join forces with Histoires 100 Fins, a circus theatre company, and Créarc, the Centre of the Creation of Theatre and Culture, both from Grenoble in France.

This outdoor performance will combine theatre, dance, juggling and pyrotechnics in a spectacular display, to celebrate 30 years of Oxford being twinned with Grenoble. Prepare to be dazzled, entertained and challenged by the piece, inspired by writer Paulo Coehlo’s work, which sees a stranger arriving in a remote village with 11 bars of gold and a burning question: ‘are humans essentially good or evil?’.
