Blast Off to the Moon... and then Back to Your Bedroom!
What happens when five kids run out of games to play? They shoot for the moon!
In Starchitects, five friends unleash their boundless creativity, turning cardboard boxes into aeroplanes, launchpads and rockets. They soar, tumble and leap across a universe of volcanic planets, shooting stars and infinite space in a breathtaking spectacle of aerial acrobatics and dance-circus choreography. They meet the moon fairies, a giant green alien and the fearsome lava king, before finding their way back home.
Powered by Motionhouse’s signature technical innovation, stunning digital projections transform the stage into a living cosmos, seamlessly integrating physical and digital effects in sync. Named Best Family Arts Activity at the UK’s Fantastic for Families Awards, Starchitects will bring a dazzling adventure of colour, acrobatics, dance and digital spectacle unlike anything you have ever seen. No wonder audiences aged 3 to 70+ across the UK are left breathless!
