ship sets sail, Birmingham’s Town Hall is
transformed by spectacular film projections
and the city’s skyline becomes a dream of
undiscovered worlds.

Produced by Birmingham Hippodrome, this
outdoor spectacle will be performed by
Motionhouse, one of the UK’s foremost dance theatre companies, and world-renowned
