INFOCUS

Manchester-based Walk the Plank created a stunning show to celebrate Turku's year as the European Capital of Culture.

DESCRIPTION

On Saturday 15th January, This Side, The Other Side, launched 2011 as Turku's Capital of Culture year. The event, created by Walk the Plank and written and directed by Mark Murphy, entertained an audience of around 50,000 and attracted global media attendance. The 35 minute long show featured music, lighting, aerial performers, and the world's largest fire drawing, all played out on and above the River Aura. Community participants, including students and shipyard workers from across the city, came together to celebrate the city's vibrant cultural identity. And around 350 people from 21 choirs performed the capital's Song of the Year.
