WORLD PREMIERE
To live in a house is to paint it in
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 birth and
death, joy and despair, the
mundane and the beautiful – as
lived by five 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 – an
poignant new work from one of
Australia’s foremost independent
physical theatre companies.
“One of Australia’s leading indie ensembles…
make a point of seeing anything you can by Dislocate.” CRIKEY
