Walk Around Aliens
This international street theater group was established in 1991 and blends various disciplines of performing arts, including dance, music, and circus, with stunning visual displays. Their spectacular performances have a narrative character and are best described as magical and mesmerizing. This atmosphere is enhanced by the representation of almost mythical characters, somewhat recognizable by their archetypal appearance and oversized 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 their productions share one thing in common: Visually powerful street theater without the constraints of age, language, or even cultural boundaries.
Aliens:
Curious creatures stick out their necks
Like in a trance, these massive blue 'Aliens' wander through the crowds. From high above, these “longnecks” watch over you. There’s no way you'll miss them when they start marching into the crowd. Their approach is friendly and cautious, but they're certainly curious. Their long, long fingers are ticklish, and their tall heads keep nodding. Suddenly, they freeze in place, and following their leader's calls, they proceed in a stunning slow motion.
