Icarus Productions

Bouncing kangaroos, lifeguards on stilts and giant seagulls are some of the characters Icarus Productions sends out into a crowd. The Sydney street theatre company specialises in roving stilt acts, with Roo'd, Beach Patrol and Giant Seagulls among its best known, all built to make people laugh and stop to look. There are themed shows for Christmas, for sporting events and for Australiana celebrations too. The company started in 1993 and has since performed in more than 40 countries, including the Sydney Olympics and Glastonbury Festival. It's a good choice for festivals, corporate events and public celebrations where people are moving around outdoors.
