About the Show
Parade – The Giant Wheel is a large-scale, high-impact outdoor spectacle celebrating human connection, resilience, and movement. At the heart of the show is a stunning 12-foot tall Giant Wheel—powered by five dance artists—accompanied by music and a local community cast.
The 50-minute, processional performance moves through public spaces, weaving together contemporary storytelling, striking physicality, and spectacular design. Expect to lift, balance, partner, improvise, and interact with audiences in a vibrant, ever-changing outdoor setting. https://autindt.co.uk/parade/
