Dancers on a white staircase floating on water.

About

A dance/circus spectacular at Gloucester Docks.

A giant white staircase floats on the water at Gloucester Docks. Six performers climb on. Every move makes it tilt. If one performer moves to one side, the entire stairway shifts and the rest must react to avoid slipping and falling into the water.

This gripping show mixes dance, circus and live music. Two musicians play from a nearby floating stage, using voice, trumpet, guitar, synth, and samples of politicians' empty promises about the climate crises.

Family friendly and free - just turn up!
