The Giant Wheel returns in 2024 touring across the UK and internationally! Join us to see it and take part the Parade in your local area.
“Parade is the embodiment of a carefully created outdoor performance – it fuses circus, dance, procession and engineering into a show that reaches out to audiences with a high level of spectacle and scale alongside more intimate moments which directly engage with spectators; crowds always love a parade and this is a very different ambulatory experience.”
– Angus MacKechnie – Director, OAUK
A large-scale travelling performance featuring a Giant Wheel powered by 6 performers and a community cast of local participants celebrating individual identities whilst honouring our collective journeys. Autin Dance Theatre uses their unique blend of contemporary storytelling, striking physicality and innovative large designs to transport audiences and communities along a carefully choreographed procession. 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.
Developed in 2023, Parade – The Giant Wheel has toured and continues to tour extensively across the UK. The show has visited 10 festivals so far, performing to over 16,000 people.
