A spectacular 16-min drone show inspired by the movements of flocks of birds, will take to the skies above the city on Sunday 15 May at 9.10pm at War Memorial Park and online.
It takes place with an audience at War Memorial Park, but is visible from up to a 4km radius from the park (weather dependent). Residents that live nearby War Memorial Park are encouraged to watch from local green spaces, gardens, rooftops, balconies and driveways.
It’s the perfect event to grab a blanket and warm drink, and encourage families and neighbours to come together to commit to our Green Futures. You can also enjoy it at home or outside Coventry online.
The show is created by the world famous artivists Celestial and explores the family of wildlife around us and our role in protecting the planet. The display, which has been conceived as a mesmerising bedtime story, features a new sound score created by Dan Jones, the BAFTA and Ivor Novello Award-winning composer, collaboration with local communities.
The show is accompanied by poetry from local artists, and a live soundtrack created by composer Dan Jones, who returns after working on Coventry City of Culture’s signature event, Coventry Moves. Dan has worked alongside Warwickshire Wildlife Trust with 7 – 10 year old pupils at local primary schools to create the sound score. Audiences will be able to stream the accompanying music and poetry through local radio stations and online.
