A bridge appears in Old Dagenham Park and becomes the setting for an exhilarating live performance. Gravity-defying circus acrobatics, dance, comedy, theatre and live music, inspired by local people’s stories, create a thrilling and moving montage of the courage, compassion and humour needed to bridge a divide.

Listen to the Bridge Stories podcast, our collection of stories of bridge-building and bridge-burning, collected by local people during 2020.
Put Yourself in the Picture with some nifty creative photography! Can you find fun ways to bridge the gap in the bridge using a camera and a little invention? We’ll be there to help.
