This was a bespoke project with big challenges to overcome including how do you make a larger than life umbrella? how do you make it rain? And when you do how do you keep performers warm? After navigating all the details the result was magical.
This is a large scale aerial installation which had brought many childhood fantasies to life. A sweet raincoat clad aerialist plays in the shelter of their umbrella. Rain falls cascades off the roof as the umbrella spins and sways.
