Horizon’s Roving Theatre entertains the community using the framework of Commedia Dell’Arte. Concentrating on the relationship between the Zanni (the “ordinary people”) and Capitano (the “ruling class”), it uses satire to explore the issues that the local community face. Satire through art has a rich tradition in Australia’s urban culture. Horizon have successfully put a new spin on entertainment through puppetry and improvised comedy that both draws in an audience and interacts with them.
