About the show.
As beautiful as moonlight, Unicorns hold a special place in our collective imaginations. And it turns out they are real! But they’ve got beef. “We’re Unicorns, get over it. We know what you want: to pet us and take pictures and use our magic. But we have had enough! Just leave us alone.” Grumpy Unicorns is what it says on the tin; the magic of discovering unicorns are in fact real (!), and humanity’s consequence for failing to take them seriously.

Tech Requirements.
'Grumpy Unicorns' needs a playing space of at least 8m wide & 6m depth. Preferably to be performed at street/ground level, rather than on a raised stage. This is a static performance, with audience interaction/participation, and can include 'walk-about' if requested by host. PA is required, but this could be something portable rather than a full set-up.

SO MUCH FUN! I never get involved with audience participation, but how could I resist a dance with those Grumpy Unicorns?!

Great to have live stuff happening again, and something as joyful as fluffy human hybrid unicorns! You could tell both spectators and performers had a great time.

Hijinx have provided a completely new perspective on unicorns and it's one that is full creativity, humour and fun. Enjoyment is guaranteed!
