Departing at 18:25

Inspired by 200th Anniversary of The Stockton & Darlington Railway. The story of passengers on a life journey, travelling by train during different times and events covering 200 years, told through a fusion of drama, multi-cultural dance, live music, roller skating and visual arts. The passengers on the train have life choices to make determined by their destination. Each carriage represents a different time and the diversity of our community, but as the train travels along the track, the clickety-clack provides the rhythm of life. We are all life tourists getting off at stations along the way to explore new opportunities and experiences, but we all make conscious decisions to board and disembark the train. Melody and movement will recreate the actions of the train alongside awesome traditional and contemporary dancing. Add into the mix dashing roller skaters bringing motion to the proceedings and you have yourself a recipe for intrigue and delight. Drama, dance, music and visual art will get your blood pumping and your pulse racing – you won’t want to get off the train of life. But sometimes your fate has already been decided and your destiny is only a station away. Do you stay on the train to continue your journey or has life already made that decision for you?
