Festival of Flying: Taking Flight harnesses the creativity, energy, and passion of communities in Castle Vale to produce a unique event, celebrating local history, heritage, and innovation. Encouraging audiences to ‘look up’, to be amazed and inspired and find new ways to express untold stories.
We have been telling stories for as long as history can see, and we will likely continue to do so for the rest of our lives… Once in a lifetime a new story is found, told, and shared… And now it is Castle Vale's time… A story of our future, but also of our past and the place we set out to be.
In a time between times… encounter the Destroyers, a wild bunch of greedy wrongdoers who set out to finish what they started and claim the land and all its treasures for themselves. But destruction never truly wins where hope lies…
Told through high energy dance, music, smoke, fire, and aerial movement… let Taking Flight steal an hour of your day and take you on a journey, to a performance of raw emotion and exciting circus style creativity.
