At the Docks
GDIF 2024: THAW
1 woman fighting for survival. 1 enormous block of ice suspended over London. 8 jaw-dropping hours.
Created by world-renowned Australian physical theatre company LEGS ON THE WALL in response to the devastating bushfires of 2019/20, THAW brings Londoners face to face with the urgent need for global climate action.
This colossal aerial production performed on a 2.5 tonne block ice gathers intensifying power and urgency as the ice, suspended on a crane high above an iconic docklands landscape, gradually melts away.
THAW is supported by the University of East London, London Borough of Newham and Arts Council England.
Legs On The Wall’s presentation of THAW has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body and supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW. With thanks to Zomer van Antwerpen
Part of Greenwich + Docklands International Festival 2024.
