THE BELLS_edited.jpg

5ANGRYMen are a legendary Australian performance company known for bold, genre-defying outdoor works that fuse physical theatre, public installation, and ritual. 
For over thirty years, 
5ANGRYMen have turned streets intos sites of connection.

All of our performances place the ensemble at the beginning of an impossible theatrical task that must be completed. The phenomenon of the ‘task’ forms the core of the 5ANGRYMen creative practise.
All audiences - of any background innately recognise what it is to attempt a task, to wrestle with it,
to complete it successfully, or to fail in the attempt.

This collective understanding is one that unites us as a species, and upon which the drama of our shows is carried. To attempt the impossible necessarily exposes the paradoxes of human nature: joy; grief; triumph; defeat; heroism; cowardice; the personal quest for power; relying on community and teamwork.


5ANGRYMen has toured the world across and
now encompasses three generations of performers and theatre-makers. From the prestigious Aurillac Festival in France to WOMADelaide in Australia, from a gold medal win at the Daidogei World Cup in Japan to its recent triumph at Serendipity Arts Festival in Goa –  we continue to perform across cultures, continents and time. In 2026, we are preparing a return season to the Daidogei World Cup in Shizuoka, Japan, and we are getting ready to perform for the first time in Latin America.
