A thrilling opportunity to be part of a live film shoot where cinema and dance unfold in real time.
Action! A truck rumbles past with music blaring. A dancer leaps and stumbles, their body moving forward against forces that refuse to let up. Then suddenly the elements erupt: thunder rolls, wind lashes and snow falls in this immersive theatre experience which transforms an everyday street into a live film set.
This “gloriously inventive” (The Theatre Times) event has already thrilled audiences in Sydney, Santiago and Buenos Aires. Now it’s time for Greenwich Peninsula to play a starring role.
