They arrive in goose-step, their large webbed feet audible from afar. Blue heads bob above the crowd, and big, illuminated eyes look around with curiosity.

Close-Act has been creating spectacular, visual street theatre for years. Productions like Malaya, Pi-Leau, Invasion, Globe, and their mobile acts have been performed at countless international street theatre festivals and events around the world. Their performances are multidisciplinary, combining dance, theatre, stilts, music, fire, steel structures, and aerial objects, always transforming the audience into part of the performance space.
