Very involved costumes cost an absolute bomb to perfect, but the end product is stunning. Make excellent statues on the door too, and brilliant when combined with a squad of our marines. If space allows, fill a darkened room with smoke and a couple of strobes before leading guests through...

Leeds big band Bassa Bassa, described as "merchants of musical mayhem", have been around since 1987. In that time over 80 musicians have passed through the ranks of the band's brass and sax frontline with full rhythm section. Varying between 9 and 22 members (currently 14) the band has appeared at Glastonbury and WOMAD, made trips to France and Ireland, and featured in many festivals around the UK. They have also often brought their commitment to benefits and demonstrations for causes ranging from Drop the Debt back to the days of Anti-Apartheid, Nicaraguan Solidarity and the Poll Tax. Founded by Sam Paechter and Rachel Richman in 1987, the band caught the rising wave of World Music, but have never been easy to pigeonhole. Strong jazz foundations blend with blasts of ska, latin, african, and funk - always with a colourful and energetic stage presence of musicians who are obviously enjoying themselves.

Three giant sized latex heads (1 meter high) with protuding / retractable tongues and emerging arms made by renowned mask maker and street theatre author, Bim Mason. The heads can lower down to conceal the actors legs within, enabling intimate contact with smaller people. The actors are linked by walkie-talkie to a minder enabling a synchronised response to opportunities for interaction without apparent cues. The heads are truly carnivalesque in the sense that they induce two conflicting simultaneous reactions - attraction and recoil, allowing the actors to strike the right balance according to the situation.
