Island Storm

A seaside arcade lost to coastal erosion. The survivors are touring with what they salvaged.

A touring outdoor show/installation that combines narrative, design, and participation to spark conversation and connection among festival audiences.

Introduction

Coastal erosion caused the catastrophic loss of a family-run amusement arcade. The survivors are now touring and scratching out a living with what they managed to salvage. What remains is a seaside arcade experience featuring circus, wet fun, hilarity and stunts.

Commissioned by the Without Walls Consortium, Island Storm features water-based sideshows and individual compartmentalised scenes that can be customised for various budgets and site configurations.
