Silo D - 30 April 2012
We are very excited to announce a unique site-specific show coming to London on June 30th.
We have been commissioned by Paradise Gardens Festival & London Pleasure Gardens to create Silo D, as part of The London 2012 Festival
Silo D is a spectacular pyrotechnic display and theatrical performance that will animate and celebrate the architecture of a unique piece of London’s industrial heritage and explore the history of the Silvertown site.
The show is inspired by a traumatic event that happened on the site in 1917 when a TNT factory exploded, tragically killing 73 people and filling the sky with burning grain, at once both beautiful and terrifying.
The show will fuse music, pyrotechnics, projection and theatre in a large, open air performance.
Sited in the heart of Olympic East London, London Pleasure Gardens is a 20-acre riverside arts and entertainment destination which celebrates the very best of London’s world famous alternative culture.
Silo D Will be taking place on Saturday 30th June 2012
From: 10:00 PM – 10:45 PM
@ London Pleasure Gardens, North Woolwich Road, London, E16 2BS
This is a free event – No Ticket Required
