PUNT!

Two Oxbridge undergraduates descend from their ivory towers and are off for a relaxing punt. Blissfully unaware of reality and physics, the boat drifts down busy streets as they regale and serenade the public.

This promenade performance is based on an adapted electric vehicle, which can cover quite a large area if required - it works both as a surreal image glimpsed from a distance and as comic interaction. The punt requires a relatively flat surface.

The punt also works as the "Ferry over the river Styx" - for Halloween or any ghoulish event - dressed with cobwebs and creepy crawlies. With Death standing in the stern and his faithful servant at the helm the boat drifts along on its way to the Underworld.
