In this production, which might have been dreamt up by the Latin American writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a chance encounter at a railway station becomes the starting point for a fantastical adventure which sees suitcases abandoned and dancers entwined high overhead in midsummer flowers. Presented by a company of musicians, circus performers, visual artists, climbers and civil engineers, Voala is a poetic and vertigo enducing reminder of the extraordinary which surrounds us everyday.Please note Voala contains smoke and strobe lighting effects |
