How To Be A Better Human
How To Be A Better Human
A phantasmagorical, cosmological, scatological, philosophical, illogical gameshow extravaganza hosted by two evil aliens from the Planet Boubikiki!
Aliens from the Planet Boubikiki have landed on Earth! Their mission: to teach the human race how to be better. How? By playing the greatest gameshow in the cosmos of course! Through a series of increasingly complex tests and challenges, you pathetic humans will learn how to better yourselves, and at the end of the show the winning team will be crowned the BEST HUMANS! The losing team? They will be incinerated and turned into space dust. It's fun for all the family!
The Intergalactic Circus of Truths (or How To Be A Better Human) is an outdoor clowning show for families. We have collaborated with outdoor artist Kristoffer Huball to create an anarchic, accessible and bonkers bit of entertainment, full of cream pies, sock wrestling parents, water guns, dancing mothers and more interactive fun than you can shake a pogo stick at. Behind all the colour and chaos is a serious intent - to get adults and children playing more. We mix up families, make kids dress up grown-ups, get the mums to dance for points and make sure no one sits back without getting involved. We think it's really important to play, whether you're 5 or 95. After all, to be a Better Human, you just have to be a Sillier Human...
The Intergalactic Circus of Truths toured to Larmer Tree Festival, Green Man, Geronimo, Haringey Shed and SouthWestFest in 2018-2019.
The sequel, The Complete Compendium of Human Culture, was at Green Man in August 2019!
A third instalment in the Boubikiki Universe was made in 2020 for Green Man's Field of Streams virtual event. The Circus of Truths team met in lockdown to make a 30 minute film, The Boubikiki Jamboree.
In 2022 the Circus of Truths team reunited for a new large-scale show commissioned by the Green Man Trust, The Transcendental Village Disco. Although this was set outside of the Boubikiki Universe, it featured the same hallmark anarchic audience participation, bizarre characters and even a Disco Christ.
Will the Boubikiki Boy Scouts return one day? Who knows? But whatever happens, remember their sacred message:
LOVE IS THE ANSWER!
THE ANSWER IS LOVE!
