Red Flag Walkers:
Dancers dressed in fiery red carry double flags. Proud and commanding, they defy the audience's expectant gaze from high above. Confusion sets in: are they warriors on a warpath or pacifists seeking peace? The flags, with their ambiguous symbolism, play a central role, leaving their true intentions open to interpretation.
A thoroughly mesmerizing street theatre show, perfect for festivals, corporate events, and celebrations.
