Red Flag Walkers
This international street theater group was established in 1991 and combines various disciplines of performing arts including dance, music, and circus, with stunning visual representations. Their spectacular performances have a narrative character and are best described as magical and hypnotic. This atmosphere is supported by the depiction of almost mythical characters, somewhat recognizable by their archetypal appearance and enlarged costumes. The style of play is interactive, surprising, and direct: the performers on stilts move among the audience, immersing them in the world of the performance.
The company has been invited by numerous renowned international festivals to perform as the opening or final act. All of their productions have one thing in common; visually strong street theater without the limitation of age, language, or even cultural boundaries.
Red Flag Walkers:
Dancers dressed in fiery red bear double flags. Proud and forceful, they defy the expectant gaze of the audience from high above the crowd. Confusion sets in—are they warriors on a warpath, or pacifists in search of peace? The flags, ambiguous symbols, play a central role. Revolutionary or traditional, the intention remains unclear for now.
A thoroughly mesmerizing street theater show, perfect for festivals, corporate events, and celebrations.
