Parade is a moving performance inspired by the beauty, power and impact of people from different walks of life coming together.
The performance features a 12-foot tall Giant Wheel powered by five street artists, accompanied by music and large community cast of local groups and individual performers.
Autin Dance Theatre uses its unique blend of contemporary storytelling, striking physicality and innovative large designs to transport audiences and communities along a carefully choreographed procession.
The 50-minute travelling act is punctuated by three static moments that celebrate the tension and fracture between our individual identities and our shared collective humanity. Ultimately, Parade is about celebrating different journeys whilst honouring our shared life struggles.
The Giant Wheel carries the performers high above the streets, spins them around ferociously, turning their worlds upside down, at times giving them momentum and speed, and at others rocking them gently back and forth imitating the laborious and repetitive cycle of life.
