-The Age

 

 

Nominated for a 2015 Helpmann Award for Best Visual or Physical Theatre.

To live in a house is to paint a memory: layer after layer, the outrageous and the everyday, inhabiting the walls as surely as any ghost.

An intricate mesh of slapstick theatre, astonishing circus skills and powerful storytelling, If These Walls Could Talk brings to life the stories inhabiting a single apartment - a place of existence, of joy and despair, the mundane and the beautiful - as lived by six generations of tenants.

Bristling with humour, physical prowess and deep theatrical ambition, this is an affecting portrayal of life, mortality and the things we leave behind.

A poignant and affecting show from one of Australia's foremost independent physical theatre companies.

 

 

 

About Dislocate

Dislocate are regarded as one of Australia's leading independent theatre ensembles. The company was founded by Kate Fryer and Geoffrey Dunstan as a vehicle to create risk-taking physical theatre that breaks boundaries by combining highly skilled circus feats with contemporary narratives.

Dislocate holds audiences spellbound on the street, in the theatre and in the air. Part theatre, part circus, a bit of magic…the collaborative ensemble is committed to training and the evolution of well-honed skills building these into new and risk-taking areas of performances.

"Dislocate has a beautiful way of articulating the ordinary by slightly shifting perspective…it renews faith that acrobatics can accentuate and work harmoniously with focused dramatic ideas."
