Puppetry specialists Moving Parts Arts will bring a spectacular new outdoor show to the Newcastle Puppetry Festival in August.
Tyne Rising will tell the story of what happens when The River Tyne overflows its banks and mysterious creatures and unknown forces are unleashed. The people of Tyneside must search their souls and work together to find out how to bring the world back into balance.
Through giant puppets, costumed ensembles, live music and landscape spectacles, this live, one-weekend-only performance promises "a memorable outdoor experience for extraordinary times".
Directed by Andrew Kim with new, original music by Hannabiell Sanders, Tyne Rising will be performed at The City Stadium, Newcastle, on 21 and 22 August at 11:00 and 3:00 and there will be a recording streamed online at 7:00 on 31 August. Tickets will be Pay What You Can and full details of how to book are on the Moving Parts Arts web site.
