The Hidden People

“A visually stunning rollercoaster of images” - Total Theatre

‍

An exciting collaboration of aerial circus and creative technology incorporating elements of Icelandic folklore, as well as experimental projection mapping to create a unique world for our performers and audiences. It tells the story of an architect who’s faced with the controversial task of building a hydroelectric dam in the Icelandic highlands.

‍

The show is without text, so suitable for international audiences.
