BLOCK

Ten years on…BLOCK is back.

A new, super-charged reimagining of this iconic show combining highly skilled physical performance with an innovative set.

BLOCK is about life in the city – its contradictions and challenges.

Twenty oversized blocks, resembling giant Jenga pieces, form an ever-changing environment as the story of BLOCK unfolds.

BLOCK was originally produced and developed in collaboration with NoFit State.

BLOCK is commissioned by Without Walls, Stockton International Riverside Festival, Norfolk & Norwich Festival and Out There International Festival of Circus & Street Arts. Co-production Archaos, Pôle National des Arts du Cirque Méditerranée and Le Citron Jaune, Centre National des Arts de la Rue.

Supported by Arts Council England, Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru – Arts Council Wales, Llywodraeth Cymru – Welsh Government.
