Anchored in Air

Anchored in Air is a groundbreaking and exhilarating aerial theatre show by Head Over Wheels, a disabled and non-disabled aerial company, pushing the boundaries of circus.

This show is a mesmerising fusion of circus, dance, spoken text and music, a thrilling journey into the world of flying wheelchairs, integrated audio description, gravity-defying acrobatics, and the captivating challenge of navigating a colossal tower.

The multifaceted trio grapple with themes of isolation, connection, struggle and rewards with their human, light-hearted and playful energy. Watch them clamber and tumble, as they navigate the ever changing and difficult world we live in.

How do we navigate the world? How does your experience differs to others? How do we get to the top, together?

Anchored in Air will begin with a Touch Tour – a guided introduction for blind and partially sighted audience members.

Supported by Without Walls and commissioned by Brighton Festival and Certain Blacks.

Co-commissioned by Crying Out Loud, supported by Arts Council England, 101 Outdoor Arts and Jackson’s Lane.
