Parade – The Giant Wheel

A joyful outdoor performance featuring a 12-foot giant wheel!

Renowned outdoor arts company Autin Dance Theatre presents Parade – The Giant Wheel, a performance full of movement, rhythm, spectacle and community celebration. Centred around a striking 12-foot giant wheel, the show combines contemporary dance, physical theatre, procession and playful audience connection.

Five performers move with, around and through the wheel, transforming public space into a living stage of balance, momentum, togetherness and shared imagination.

Parade – The Giant Wheel invites audiences of all ages to gather, follow, watch and celebrate. The work explores how people move together, support one another and create moments of collective joy in public space.

For this special Belfast presentation, Autin Dance Theatre are working with Beat Carnival and BEATnDRUM to bring rhythm, participation and community celebration into the heart of the event.
