Family :: Revolt of the Mannequins

Perth International Arts Festival and the City of Perth
Royal de Luxe

Ingenious French street theatre company Royal de Luxe transform well-behaved shop windows into an outlandish comic strip that winds its way through the CBD.

Shop windows become a stage for elaborately detailed mannequins with some very unusual plans of their own. Each window tells a story and each story is guaranteed to be beyond your most outrageous dreams.

Visit the windows daily to catch the latest developments and, each night, watch the scene changes as the Royal de Luxe team crank up the story to the next episode.

Sometimes lurid, often hilarious and always bizarre, each story unfolds over nine days. Make sure you’re there when the mannequins run riot, revolt and rampage! Take a walk round the heart of the City and catch the action in each location.

Royal de Luxe have brought their mixture of gorgeous imagery, engineering talent and storytelling powers to bear on the idea of the mannequin … weaving a dozen ingenious installations into a grand and vivacious comic strip, a series of pictures that gives the town new landmarks, an alternative history and fresh jokes
