Born in a Taxi – Please Wait Here - WOMADelaide

In this seriously silly roving performance three security guards conduct absurd games, turning crowd control into an artform. The guards play with power in various forms: coercion, authoritarianism, superiority and humour. They corral, test, judge and choose who is worthy. Lines are drawn, rules are made, the audience is sorted, tensions mount and power is transferred. One of Melbourne's most highly regarded physical theatre ensembles, Born in a Taxi mix dance with humour, the profound with the profane and the familiar with the unlikely to produce highly original, physically driven and participatory works in site-specific and outdoor contexts. The company's diverse performance backgrounds and ensemble movement improvisation create a performance style that lives somewhere between the cracks of theatre and dance.
