What do shopping centres and trapeze have in common?

They’re both part of an inspirational and exciting theatre show touring shopping centres!

This interactive production uses trapeze, music, stilt walking and acrobatics to tell a magical story of how we’re all connected to nature.

Inspiring a connection to nature in unlikely settings is the idea behind this production, which was part of Scottish Natural Heritage’s EcoCoLIFE Project, with support from The Woodland Trust’s Street Trees Project. The show aims to bring local communities together through encouraging appreciation, care and connection with the natural environment and raising awareness of the environmental, health and social benefits of nature.
