We are huge fans of Raucous Caucous collectives work and are proud to be supporting their transformation of Bristol’s Jacob’s Wells Baths with comprehensive lighting fixture and control hire, for their exciting upcoming production ‘Ice road’ 

It is also great to be providing additional equipment to the incredible team at Limbic Cinema whose ground breaking creative video projection work is truly awe inspiring.  

If you are looking for engrossing, immersive, transformative, visceral and innovative theatre then this should not be missed.

Raucous’

Ice Road

Leningrad. 1942.

The siege has begun…

 
“You are a cockroach, Tati. You will survive the hunger, the cold, fever and this war.” 
 
In the wreckage of an old apartment block, four orphans are compelled to join forces to survive the murderous Leningrad blockade. Through a cruel winter, enemy shelling and gnawing hunger, Leah, Zoya, Tati and Kub fantasise of escape on the only road out of the city – the ice road.

Every night, whilst the city freezes and the bombs rain down, Leah mysteriously leaves the others for several hours. She will not tell them where she goes and they daren’t ask – the food she brings back is the only thing keeping them alive.

But then as winter bites hard, the youngest, Kub goes missing… 
 
Harnessing Russian folklore and historical witness accounts, Ice Road fuses performance, creative technology, original music, film and aroma to tell the story of the children war leaves behind.
 
“Cleverly conceived, distinctively different”
