Dominoes, by Station House Opera, takes as its starting point the simplest of ideas… a line of dominoes. Thousands of breezeblocks are used to create a moving sculpture which traverse the city, unfolding over the course of the day.
On streets, through parks, buildings, and even on water, occasionally disappearing and then resurfacing, sometimes pausing for sculptural performances, the domino line threads its way through historical and everyday parts of the city, linking its diverse communities in a symbolic as well as the physical chain of cause and effect.
Creating a celebration across the whole city, Dominoes transforms its rhythm for one special day. The project has the power to bring communities together through participation and engagement – hundreds of volunteers and audience members gather together to make this exceptional and unique event.
Dominoes will travel through Norwich City Centre, starting at Anglia Square and finishing at The Forum, beginning the 250th anniversary Festival! Find a spot along the route to watch the dominoes topple.
Want to be a part of Dominoes? NNF is looking for 200 volunteers to help build the route. If you’d like to get involved, email volunteers@nnfestival.org.uk or visit nnfestival.org.uk/take-part/volunteer
