Impermanence Presents… Figs in Wigs

Date: Monday, Feb 25 2019
Time: 8:00pm
Venue: Bristol Old Vic: Weston Studio

The season of adventurous contemporary dance programmed by Bristol’s Impermanence Dance Theatre winds up with a visit from dance troupe Figs in Wigs, with their show Often Onstage.

“Figs in Wigs are often onstage but how did we get here and how do we leave?

Often Onstage is an offbeat facetious romp that explores the ins and outs of theatre through the medium of dance. Expect nods to the new, bows to the Bard, blood baths and drag kings. With one step forward and two hundred steps back, this choreographic exercise in comings and goings gleefully disrupts traditional theatrical conventions… unearthing dormant anxieties about life choices along the way.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

“What if the only thing keeping you going are inspirational quotes and a subsidised income from your side project as a Backstreet Boys tribute act? It’s only a matter of time before we sell out, and we don’t mean tickets…”
