Stilt walkers
What is a stilt walker?
Stilt walking is very popular with young and old all over the world. Playfully, walking around on extended leg constructions is understood as stilt walking. Stilt walkers reach a height of several metres. Our stilt walkers walk on stilts with a height of 1.20 metres and thus reach a height of approx. 3-4 metres, depending on the stilt costume. You will find stilt walkers at parties, festive events and at large and small festivals. There, stilt walkers in great costumes often attract a lot of attention. The costumes of the stilt walkers are often themed, for example related to the seasons or Christmas.

Stilt walkers Corona
The topic of Corona has kept us eminently busy over the past 1.5 years and has resulted in a partial occupational ban. We have reacted to this and designed our costumes and props to be corona-compliant. Our stilt walkers are already corona-conform per se due to their height of 3-4 metres and their sometimes very expansive dresses. In addition, we have equipped the stilt walkers and walking acts with masks to ensure the greatest possible safety for the audience and customers and to comply with the corresponding Corona regulations. So you can book stilt walkers who are not only safe, but real eye-catchers to boot.
Our costumes for stilt walkers and walking acts
We have an incredibly large repertoire of stilt costumes for a wide variety of themes. Our spectrum covers the complete range of themes. You can book stilt walkers for festive receptions and gala events. The corresponding costumes are all handmade, sometimes over months, using very precious materials. But you will also find a variety of costumes for parties and street theatre festivals.
Over the years, real favourites have emerged for our customers. These include in particular the Regenbogen Ballett – eine Hommage an das Triadische Ballett des Bauhauses der zwanziger Jahre. Die in 2016 entstandene Open Air Produktion ist unser Zeichen für Vielfalt und Toleranz und basiert auf der korrespondierenden Beziehung zwischen Figur und Raum. Grundlegend ist die dreifache Ordnung, die sich widerspiegelt in der Anzahl der Darsteller – 3 Stelzenläufer und 3 Akteure auf Freehand-Segways.
Das Regenbogen Ballett ist eine Mischung aus elbendender Installation und konzeptioneller Performance. Pure Lebensfreude und Positivität!
Manufacturing of costumes and props for our stilt walkers and walking acts
The production of costumes and props for our stilt walkers and walking acts takes place in our own workshops and partly also in workshops of our partners. Over the years, a professional network of partners has developed that creates the fascinating worlds for our stilt walkers and walking acts with and for us.

Stilt walking / stilt walkers - A historical overview
The activity of stilt walking dates back to the Middle Ages. In Europe, it has always been used for popular amusement at markets and festivals à la couleur. In addition to being used to entertain people, stilt walkers also had an importance in terms of accomplishing work at lofty heights or overcoming swampy terrain. As stilt walkers, they could guard cattle, cross canals or, as in England, attach hops to wire frames. The stilts were up to 4 metres high. In other countries, stilt walkers were in demand for fruit harvesting, window cleaning, roofing work or ceiling painting. In some West African countries, stilt walkers also had ritual significance.
Even today, the ability to walk on stilts is used for handicraft work, for example painting. This work is done on so-called painter's stilts. However, these painter's stilts are not used by professional stilt walkers. Dulce Compania works with so-called point stilts with a height of 1.20 metres. Other stilt theatres, however, often work with stilts with a height of 80 centimetres.
A brief overview of types of stilts
Basically, a distinction is made between 2 types of stilts: stilts to hold on to and stilts to strap on to.
Stilts to hold on to
These are the popular children's stilts where the feet are placed on steps at a low height so that they can jump off quickly if they trip.
Stilt to strap on
There are 2 different types of stilts - point stilts and painter's stilts.
With point stilts, the stilt walker stands on a foot plate at the desired height. The stilt walker's shoes are fixed to the plate. From the foot plate, a shaft rises up to the calf. The stilt walkers' calves are fixed to this shaft. The term "point stilt" means that the stilt walker only stands on a single shaft, i.e. steps on a point.
In the case of painter's stilts, the stilt walker stands on a foot plate similar to the point stilts and the calf is fixed to the stilts. However, in this case the stilt walker stands on two shafts and with an additional foot plate on an extended foot. This results in a stable stance that allows work to be carried out at height. However, acrobatic movements or an elegant gait like on point stilts is not possible for stilt walkers here.
