Figs in Wigs are an all-female performance company working across theatre, dance and comedy. Their work makes use of puns, fake fruit and pop culture references, and it often plays with surrealism, absurd comedy and self-awareness about theatrical performance.
The group describes its routines as unusually shaped by the fact that its performers are untrained dancers, but the results are still said to be catchy. Their performances also use deadpan facial expression and stylised presentation while touching on larger themes through glitter, sequins and comic exaggeration.
Their work is likened to a meeting of Kraftwerk and Chicks on Speed at a fruit stall, reflecting the mix of performance art, music culture references and playful visual theatre that characterises the company.
