Buckle up for the ride of a lifetime – dance theatre like you’ve never seen before, coming to Gloucester!
What is it?
A dance performance featuring three men, jumping over, on and around a spinning red car in Gloucester’s Kings Square.
RIDE A playful spin on the summer road trip featuring three blokes and a 1980s Ford Orion. It’s dance theatre like you’ve never seen it before!
Three men, bound by chance, find their paths converging around a curious thing: a 1980s Ford Orion that appears to have a life of its own. As they embark on an exciting journey, they are made to confront the blurring line between man and machine – and the shifting identities within themselves.
RIDE is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with an ‘80s vibe, with tons of athletic physicality and daring stunts. It features a real car which rotates and spins to provide the performance playground.
A family friendly show – appropriate for all ages.
