Watch in amazement as performers take to the streets, stopping you in your tracks with visually powerful spectacles for all the family.
Filling the walkways during the day with everything from high energy hip hop to martial arts-infused dance, intricate acrobatics and circus… and culminating at dusk with an entrancing nocturnal procession of ethereal figures that metamorphose against the night sky, Now Northwich is the ultimate festival of wonder.
Come along and immerse yourself in an emotionally charged atmosphere with extraordinary performances that will change your perspective on how you see the world today.
Coming to Northwich from France, Compagnie des Quidams in co-production with Inko’Nito will showcase Herbert’s Dream at sundown – a captivating nocturnal procession of majestic and ethereal figures, gliding through the shadows and metamorphosing into figures of 4m high as they perform a magical ritual to release a new moon high up into the night sky.
This year as part of the dedicated Community Programme, highly acclaimed hybrid dance theatre company, Company Carpi will co-create a brand new and exciting ‘dance opera’ that will see professional dancers, opera singers and orchestral musicians come together with community dancers to tell the stories of Northwich. The show will take place at Northwich Plaza as part of Now Northwich to celebrate the creative communities in Cheshire and the rich history of the region.
