Town Trilogy

The Tower Trilogy are three Sensory Labyrinth Theatre performances that are for the built environment and where appropriate created with communities living in that built environment.  They can also be presented by an international cast as a professional performance for festivals and events.  They combine the constellation of the lived environment with the sense memories of the communities living in that environment to create a  site specific happening event in which the whole community can participate and which has an unforgettable 'wow' factor. 

Tower

The Tower performance was developed for the Nykoebing Summer Festival in Denmark in August 2009.  It is for towns, villages or areas of a city which have a tall building, a spire or a tower giving an accessible vantage point.  An old water tower is ideal.  The performance is an alternative to a traditional carnival, so that rather than the performers parading through the streets the audience go on a journey and encounter dancers and performers on their way. The journey ends at the tower, and it is on climbing the tower that the mystery of the piece starts to unravel.  Arriving at the top and looking down at the journey taken is when the audience realize the whole point of their journey.

 

 

 

 

 

Wall

Developed first for the Conwy Feast in October 2009 The Wall is for walled towns.  The audience travel one at a time through the town experiencing sensory portals based on the sense memories of the townspeople - the smells, tastes, touches, sights and sounds significant for the inhabitants.  The journey then takes the 'hero' up onto the ramparts along which they meet angels who explain to them the actual basis of those sensory portals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hill

The Hill was first developed in Piodao Village in Portugal in February 2009. The journey charts the rise and fall and rise of everything from our lives to all sensory experience, all things are permanently impermanent and cyclical, and with all the little labyrinthine pathways that hill villages typically have the journey takes audiences into back alleys and disused buildings.
