Gecko Theatre CompanyTaylor's Dummies
Imagine Vertigo, directed by David Lynch and performed by De La Guarda to the riffs of 50s jazz.
A chance encounter with a mysterious woman throws Taylor's world into turmoil. Eloquently crafted to music, Taylor's Dummies plumbs the depths of male desire, through a series of visual scenes that are both stunning and deeply emotional. Sharp suited performers walk up walls and fly through the air, life-sized dummies come to life, and a baby doll sings Fly Me to the Moon.
An overwhelming success with the public and critics alike, Taylor's Dummies is theatre on the cutting edge, mixing high energy physical theatre, quirky humour, and a soundtrack that combines sexy jazz and thrilling live percussion. This acclaimed debut production is for those who love the unexpected and crave an adrenaline hit.
Developed at the Lion & Unicorn as part of ROAR 03 and originally co-produced by BAC in summer 2003.
