COST: Free!
Join us in the East Quay Courtyard for a ground-breaking aerial theatre show brought to East Quay by Head Over Wheels, a disabled and non-disabled aerial company, pushing the boundaries of Circus.
This debut show is a mesmerizing fusion of circus, dance, text and live music, taking audiences on a thrilling journey into the world of flying wheelchairs, integrated audio description, gravity-defying acrobatics, and the captivating challenge of navigating a colossal tower.
The trio grapple with themes of identity and perceptions of ourselves- within the structures and confinements of society. Watch them clamber and tumble, as they navigate the ever changing and difficult world we live in.
Here is access to an easy read pack and an audio programme.

Image description: Jonny, Phoebe and Tilly are on a metal tower made of scaffolding, against a white cloudy sky. Jonny is pushing his body out horizontal into space using his long arms. Phoebe is sat on a rung, leaning back, with Tilly lying on their lap. All three look in the same direction, smiling. They wear combinations of sage green, sky blue and hot pink.
