As The World Tipped is a real life disaster movie performed live in the night sky!
It is an ambitious and extraordinary piece of aerial theatre that tells a powerful tale of ecological crisis. Combining dramatic film and visuals with breath-taking aerial performance, As The World Tipped confronts one of the most pressing issues for the planet with spectacle, humour and emotion.
This is a new show and these images are of rehearsals before it was performed for the first time at Norwich and Norfolk Festival on 21st May. They give you an idea of the scale and structure of the show and don’t the cast and crew look fearless! More images to follow of that first performance with stunning lighting, film, projections and amazing live performances.
As The World Tipped was written and directed by Nigel Jamieson, one of the worlds leading creators of outdoor spectacle (Sydney Olympics, Liverpool Capital of Culture) and created with the pioneering team from Wired Aerial Theatre who performed at SIRF last year with Rosa’s Bar and Straw Dogs.
