Deep beneath the ocean's surface, two intrepid explorers have just crashed their submarine, and that's only the beginning. What follows is an epic, madcap journey from the ocean floor all the way to the sky and back again, as our heroes navigate the impossible with nothing but their bodies, their wits, and their boundless imagination. Watch in wonder as a vivid world teeming with flora and fauna erupts before your very eyes, conjured from thin air, built from absolutely nothing.
This is physical comedy at its most fearless. Nonstop, breathless, and gloriously absurd, The Submarine Show will have you doubled over in laughter one moment and leaning forward in genuine suspense the next. Jaron and Slater's signature brand of storytelling is pure kinetic adventure: not a single word is spoken, every moment is discovered live in the room, and no two shows are ever the same.
Since its debut in 2009, this award-winning comedy has toured internationally to rave reviews and standing ovations. Seventeen years and counting, and it's still making waves.
SF Chronicle:
"A two-person theatrical adventure of inspired pantomime, and hilarious to boot, “Submarine” ascends from the undersea world Hollander and Penney create through their versatile physical comedy into the stratosphere and beyond. Both men are veterans of Cirque du Soleil and various other circuses and theaters. Both [have taught] at Oakland’s Kinetic Arts Center, where Hollander [was] co-founder and artistic director. And Penney won an Emmy Award for his body performance work with Tech TV. Together they create a unique kind of lunatic magic."
