Upcoming Dates
03 April 2010: Ostara, Far Gosford Street, Coventry
Start Time: 8pm Charterhouse Fields (Procession), 8.30pm Bottom Far Gosford Street for Promenade Performance, Finale will be on Gosford Green.
We have teamed up with Imagineer Productions to produce OSTARA, an Easter holiday spectacular celebrating the regeneration of Far Gosford Street.
It will tell the story of the extraordinary history and heritage of the area and the characters who have breathed life into its streets through time. This spectacular event with two hundred local community performers working alongside professional artists from Imagineer Productions and The World Famous will pay homage to the mythical origins of Easter and will celebrate the Spring Equinox in a journey from darkness into light.
The character of Attis will emerge on his chariot in Charterhouse Fields and will process through the night in search of the Goddess, Ostara. As he enters the Gateway of Far Gosford Street his journey will take him through a landscape of ghosts as he recalls all those who have trodden the path before him. The eternal cycle of life, death and rebirth recounted before finally arriving at his destination – Gosford Green in a dramatic and breathtaking finale. Conceived and directed by Kathi Leahy; Designed by Mandy Dike.
