NOVUM: Block: Grey Street

A city is built. A city falls. Then it rises again.

Using 20 giant moving blocks, an extraordinary cast of 8 fearless performers transform Grey Street into a breathtaking playground of climbing, balancing, leaping and impossible feats.

As towering structures appear and disappear in moments, BLOCK explores the energy, pressure and unpredictability of modern city life through spectacular movement, daring circus skills and powerful visual storytelling.

Created by internationally acclaimed outdoor arts company Motionhouse, this thrilling large-scale performance is packed with heart-stopping acrobatics, gravity-defying lifts that will have you holding your breath and split-second precision that will leave audiences of all ages amazed.

BLOCK is an exhilarating celebration of teamwork, resilience and the remarkable things people can achieve together.
