Join FLING Physical Theatre for their premiere season of FAILURE

July 17 - 25, 2026

10 shows - limited capacity

FAILURE is a bold new contemporary performance work developed in partnership with renowned Australian physical theatre company Legs On The Wall.

Combining aerial dance and contemporary physical theatre, FAILURE explores the emotional and physical terrain of risk, expectation and the fear of getting it wrong. Performed by a professional cast of local and guest emerging dance artists, the work examines failure not as weakness, but as a powerful creative force. Exposing vulnerability, resilience, and humour in the instability.

Ambitious, visceral and deeply human, FAILURE signals a significant artistic step forward for FLING Physical Theatre, championing fearless regional contemporary performance and the next generation of Australian artists.

At a time when perfection is increasingly performed and failure is often hidden; FAILURE asks what happens when we stop viewing defeat as a deficit and begin to embrace uncertainty. Through daring movement, immersive staging and emotionally charged performance, the work invites audiences into an intimate encounter with risk and perseverance.

As part of our 25th anniversary year, we are looking boldly into the future with projects just like FAILURE, employing local performing artists.

If it's available to you, please consider a Champion or Power Giver ticket to support FLING.
