VOLOZ Collective have announced the date for their upcoming Settle performance.

The group will be producing their show ‘The Man Who Thought He Knew Too Much’ at Settle Victoria Hall on February 18.

The show is an intercontinental, inter-genre, cinematic caper of accusations, accidents, and accents. Roger Clement, a Frenchman in 1960's New York, has followed the same predictable routine for years, until a minor delay saves him from an explosion, throwing his ordered world into chaos as Roger chases his would-be assassins around the world to discover the truth.

Raucously funny and endlessly inventive, this Lecoq-trained theatre company delights and stuns with live, original music and virtuosic acrobatics in this award-winning fast-paced whodunnit.

Olivia Zerphy said, "While comedy today is increasingly text-based, we are excited to bring audiences to the roots of vaudevillian physical comedy with Voloz’s own contemporary cinematic twist. What draws people so often to film and TV is the speed and ingenuity with which one image transforms into the next.

“With this show, we transpose this visual dexterity of film into a theatrical language, teasing out moments of both poetry and hilarity that we cannot wait to share with audiences in Yorkshire.”

Voloz Collective is an award-winning international physical theatre company that reinvents and recharges physical comedy - exploiting the capacities of the human body and blurring the lines between the theatrical and cinematic.

Hailing from three different countries, the team of four was brought together by two years of study at L’École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq. Voloz has performed at venues ranging from an organic farm in rural Vermont to London’s Pleasance Theatre, and their recent theatrical film, America played Off-Broadway in NYC as part of Ars Nova's ant fest.

They have been awarded residencies at La Factorie (Normandy, France) and The Sable Project (Vermont, USA).

This show has been developed at Paris’s Guillotine Theatre, London's Greenwich Theatre and at The Pleasance's 'A Pleasance Scratch and won the Les Enfants Terrible and Greenwich Theatre Award 2020.
