An epic and ambitious outdoor multi-media performance combines dramatic film visuals and a glorious soundtrack with breathtaking aerial performance to tell a powerful tale of ecological crisis.
Suspended above the audience in the night sky, the performers struggle to control their increasingly precarious world as they do battle with the effects of drastic environmental catastrophe. Meanwhile at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, harassed staff fail to notice as the world around them slides toward disaster . . .
Written and directed by Nigel Jamieson, one of the world’s leading creators of outdoor spectacle (Sydney Olympics, Liverpool Capital of Culture), As The World Tipped has been created with the pioneering team from Wired Aerial Theatre.
