1st Framework /3rdthought
PARADISE PRESS RELEASE
An indoor fairground tent will contain a forty-minute visual evocation of ideas and aspects of Paradise as told to the producers by a huge cross-section of Londoners. Their voices will be heard as a troupe of actors, all over the age of 60, create, through dance, physical theatre, tableaux and conjuring tricks, a series of short and witty theatrical scenes.
