Bursting forth with cosmic energy, Big Mob features a majestic parade of hyperflexible, interactive slinkies.

Artist Information

Bedlam Oz

Website

Bedlam Oz (Australia/UK) is a world theatre company that animates spaces with style, elegance and grace. They received glowing reviews during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, with The Scotmans (Scotland) calling the show “strangely wonderful, wonderfully strange”. Bedlam Oz then relocated from Australia to the UK and have now performed in over 40 countries on five continents, transcending international language barriers with their physical visual theatre.  One moment, a highlight at Glastonbury, another, performing for the Queen’s Jubilee in the grounds of Buckingham palace. Then on to Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, Japan and Canada’s Just for Laughs, and being lauded at international festivals like Fete de la Chassepierre. Slinkies have also wowed crowds at any number of corporate events ranging from family fun days to late night cabarets throughout the UK and Europe. These Slinkies have proven themselves to be ridiculously flexible (pun intended!) and are a true street theatre/corporate event classic.
