Collecting Fireworks is a unique performance archive in the making.
You are invited to add your own voice to this wonderful international collection. First you will enter an intimate one-on-one installation in which the remarkable stories of strangers are whispered to you in the darkness. Then you will be invited to donate memories of your own and become part of this act of mass remembrance. As a contributor to the collection, your anonymous memories will continue to re-emerge again and again.

Director: Helen Cole
Technical Consultant: Alex Bradley

Presented by Arts House

Collecting Fireworks was commissioned by New Theatre Architects. Funded by Arts Council England. A Daphne/Inbetween Time Productions Project
