Legs On The Wall

A leading Sydney-based physical theatre company, and acclaimed champions of artful aerial performance, Legs On The Wall boast an evolving repertoire of contemporary works which disrupt cultural expectations and transcend language barriers. Legs' performances incorporate the lyricism of dance and the enchantment of circus with the expressive heft of the theatre. Routinely reimagining what's possible in the conventional auditorium, Legs On The Wall has also forged a global reputation for bringing excitement, wonder, humour and gravitas to public spaces.

The flagship durational work THAW (2022 – present), in which a series of artists perform on an immense ice sculpture as it melts over a day, is an iconic example of Legs' practice. An urgent call to action on climate change, THAW defies perceived impossibility in a work of staggering ambition and scale, which has to date touched over 16,000 live audience members in locations around the world with its message: there’s no time to waste! BEETLE (2023-present), a critically acclaimed work for children and families, expands upon this core preoccupation of Legs’ current repertoire, encouraging care for the environment through inspiring a sense of wonder in nature; a value backed by rigorous attention to sustainability in company practices. Leg’s ongoing and evolving approach to sustainability seeks to reduce and mitigate impact, while making the biggest difference with what we do. A values-led approach to creative storytelling can be traced across Legs’ four-decade history through landmark works such as Homeland (1998-9) celebrating multiculturalism, to First Nations led works such as Man With The Iron Neck (2018-9), and expressions of LGBITQA+ resilience and liberation behind works such as LOVERS (2023). Legs On The Wall continue to kick against gravity, connecting with audiences from all walks of life with thought-provoking and adrenaline-inducing works built with ingenuity, bravado, and integrity.
