About
A cross between a giant marble run and a magical clockwork toy, the Curiosity Christmas Tree is a wandering kinetic sculpture, handcrafted from twisted metal, tinkling bells and twinkling lights. From inside the tree, the caretaker invites curious onlookers to wind the handle and watch the baubles roll on their mesmerising journey.
The Curiosity Christmas Tree (CCT) can be performed as a walkabout, stopping on its route(s) to engage with passers by AND/OR as a static installation where people approach the CTT to interact with it. The CCT can work during the day or in the evening illuminated by integrated lighting.

Tech Requirements
Curiosity Christmas Tree Size (Assembled): Diameter 1.22m, Height 3.2m
Sets & Timings:
- Maximum 3x 45minute Sets, minimum of 30 minutes between sets
- Between Sets the CTT can remain out on “display” or return to set-up area/base.
Set-up/Pack Down:
- Van access is required to be as close to the setting up area as possible.
- Please allow 1hr for set-up.
- Please allow 1hr for packing down.
- The CCT can be set-up away from the performance area and then travel to the performance area if required.
- Wherever the CCT is to be set-up, bear in mind there must be no obstructions lower than 3.2m to access the performance area E.g doors, low branches etc…
Performance area:
- Due to how the CCT works the flatter the performance area the better. E.g The tree will not be suited to working on a hill. Unless there are flat/level areas on the hill.
- The CCT can not negotiate Steps. Curbs are fine.
- The CCT will not pass under tree branches or street furniture/signage lower than 3.2 meters in height.
- If the performance area surface is bumpy e.g. cobbles or uneven grass The CCT will not be able to travel as much and would benefit from being more static during its sets.
Other Requirements:
- For multiple performance dates secure overnight storage is required.
- Tap available to fill drinking bottles.
