The Crawl is an original comedy created by two Lecoq-trained performers and directed by Olivia Zerphy (Voloz Collective, The Man Who Thought He Knew Too Much).
Devised in Paris during the buzz of the 2024 Olympics, this explosive physical theatre piece follows two performers as they transform into a whirlwind of eccentric characters, all navigating the pressures of performance - in and out of the pool. With audience members occasionally stepping into the story (Chad the lifeguard is not to be missed), the show invites everyone to take part in the joyful chaos.
Blending the collective spirit of sport and theatre, The Crawl is a warm, whimsical reminder that play can be powerful and that not every competition needs a winner. Crafted for audiences of all ages, this is a celebration of connection, imagination, and joy.
