Figs in Wigs are bringing their Edinburgh smash hit We, Object to London as part of Calm Down, Dear: a Festival of Feminism

We, Object is an absurdist amalgamation of visual puns, word play and amateur dancing. It begins with a slide show and ends with a dance routine. The middle is somewhat embarrassing – the striptease goes horribly wrong, and a plethora of miniature props begin to complicate the bigger picture. As the show progresses it becomes increasingly unclear as to who (or what) is (or isn’t) being objectified.

Figs in Wigs are five women placing themselves in the spotlight, using comedy to highlight something so frequently laughed off.

N.B This is not a show about small things.

Figs in Wigs are one of the UK’s leading emerging performance companies. They are best known for their unique blend of trashy dance routines, alternative comedy and their passion for fashionable fruit. Expect excessive use of puns, obscure cultural references and unconventional choreography, all washed down with a bottle of WKD.
