THE BELLS

THE BELLS

campanology :
(noun) the art or practice of bell-ringing.

​

THE BELLS is a unique outdoor public theatre extravaganza. It combines physical theatre, public installation, acrobatics, street performance, dance and music.

​

Conceived by the 5AngryMen theatre group in the 1990's The Bells - now a multi-generational ensemble has toured the world across three decades.

 

They continue to ring THE BELLS - no matter what...

​

Was it acrobatics? Was it alternative theatre? Was it music? The Bells at Federation Square was all three.

This heart-stopping performance featured the unusual combination of musical bell-tolling and gravity-defying acrobatics to the delight of crowds.'

'When they finish their performance, the 5AngryMen depart as quickly as they appeared (...) There is no talk about a curtain call, the eyes of the audience members are full of tears.'
