Leaky Heaven Performance presents the world premiere of Slip Slap Trip Wack from July 26–28, 2024 at the Russian Hall. The family-friendly work brings to life the imaginative worlds of 8–12-year-olds, in a unique collaboration between the artists of Leaky Heaven and youth who live near the studio at the Russian Hall. The performance seats audience members on a 360-degree rotating device, which allows them to both watch and volunteer to perform in the sketches. Slip Slap Trip Wack takes inspiration from Our Gang, a series of short comedic films from the 1920s that later became known as The Little Rascals. Developed over a 10-week workshop organized with RayCam Co-operative Centre, the participatory performance incorporates gags and pranks that pull from centuries-old vaudeville routines and tropes. The youth-developed project offers a fresh spin on comedy that allows kids to be kids, and adults to be reminded of the joy of play.
