Big in Falkirk :: 3rd & 4th May 2008

WORLD PREMIERE - Sunday 4 May only at 10pm

After the spectacular Sticky (with Improbable Theatre) in 2002 and a fantastic firework display in 2003, master pyrotechnicians The World Famous return to Falkirk with an astonishing new show featuring live music from Slovenian musicians Terrafolk. Full Circle uses fire, fireworks, music and special effects to tell a story of transience, change and the relationship between humanity and the environment, taking you on a musical pyrotechnic journey through the seasons.

A frozen tree sits in a wintry landscape. The wind howls through its branches, carrying strange sounds. Out of the noise, a tune appears and four pod-like flowers slowly open, revealing the musicians. The music gradually brings the garden to life…spring’s new growth blooms into a colourful summer party; then the heat builds and the air turns heavy. Can the music resist the storm?
