A Magical Blend of Illusion and Storytelling
Set against the backdrop of 1905, 'Rabbits Out of the Hat' showcases the journey of Norvil, a formidable magician, and his sister Josephine, who serves as his devoted assistant.

A Timely Exploration
Co-creators Howell and Kongerød have described the show as more than just a collection of spectacular illusions; it is a poignant narrative that resonates with contemporary themes of agency and self-discovery. While audiences are treated to a dazzling display of magic, they are also invited to engage with the characters’ struggles, making each performance not just entertaining, but thought-provoking.
As the tour runs until July 25th, this is an opportunity not to be missed. 'Rabbits Out of the Hat' is set to leave its mark, sending viewers home with a renewed appreciation for both magic and the pursuit of one's own voice.
