About HEYWIRE
HEYWIRE Productions is a genre-defying entertainment company known for its unique blend of comedy, clowning, bouffon, and dance. This combination creates a fresh take on physical theatre that invites the audience to connect and experience a private world with the performers.
All performances are rooted in audience interaction, ensuring that no two shows are ever the same.
HEYWIRE produces physical comedy aimed at driving social change. Fear can be an effective vehicle for storytelling and connection. By tackling difficult topics and exploring them through comedy, we make challenging content more approachable and easier to digest through laughter.
Our work combines physical comedy, lights, and sound to create a surreal theatrical experience where even the unspeakable can be safely discussed and examined.
