'It is pulse-pounding, immersive storytelling strange and exquisite and intensely affecting' The New York Times
With their small inheritance stitched into their clothes, two children set off on an epic journey across Europe – orphaned refugee brothers on a desperate odyssey to freedom and safety.
In Jamie Harrison's (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child magic effects and illusions designer) and Candice Edmunds' unique staging, Flight combines unsettling themes with spellbinding images. Mixing graphic novel with exquisite diorama, it is a story of hope and survival that draws you into its fragile miniature world, compelling you to contemplate the terror of children adrift in dangerous lands.
Watch the action unfold from your personal booth with the story and music in your headphones. Miniature images and models move slowly round in front of you, drawing you into the brothers' heart-wrenching journey.
