about

latest work

After the massive success with I CANT STAND UP FOR FALLING DOWN, with sold out performances across the UK, Earthfall perform their latest work - a stunning montage of live film, live original music, risk-taking choreography, text and song.

Running Away with the Hairdresser is a physical portrayal of extreme characters in extreme places with a depth and black humour that draws from cinema, stand-up, opera and farce to create a heady mix of vital contemporary performance.

With echoes of Hitchcock, Tarantino and Bill Hicks we witness people in rooms with secrets and yearnings that have chance meetings resulting in passionate, comic and fierce encounters.

The production will be touring the UK and mainland Europe in the Autumn. The tour dates will be released in June
