STAGE TUBE: First Look at Fuel Theatre's THE ROOF

By:



THE ROOF, the brand new 3620 degree performance, directed by David Rosenberg (co-founder of Shunt) and Frauke Requardt, their third collaboration following Electric Hotel (also a Fuel production) and Motor Show, will run at the Doon Street Car Park 30 May - 28 June 2014. Preview performances (30 May - 8 June) are Monday-Saturday at 9:30pm. Regular performances (from 9 June) will be Monday-Saturday at 9:30pm with Friday and Saturday early evening performances at 7:00pm. Scroll down to see a trailer for the show!

In a purpose-built venue from the set designer of the 2012 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony Jon Bausor, audiences for THE ROOF, standing throughout, will experience the breathless mix of 360 degree hair-trigger movement, influenced by free running with intimate, three dimensional music and sound by Dave Price via individual headphones.

A door opens and an immaculate ?gure steps out onto a roof. Knives are sharpened and the game begins...

Within the suspended reality of a brutal and unforgiving game, THE ROOF will transport audiences into the body of a reluctant hero, desperate to stay alive.

Requardt & Rosenberg and Fuel have been working with 3Run to train the dancers in elements of Parkour. 3Run is a world leading professional performance team specialising in Parkour, based in Basingstoke

Forming part of this exciting new summer venue will be the SALTBOX bar. Run by Fuel and the National Theatre, this unique hangout will be open daily to audiences and non-show ticket holders.

Tickets are £24.50 for Previews (30 May - 7 June), £29.50 from 9 June onwards, and £19.50 concessions. Only those ages 12 years and older are permitted. To purchase tickets, call the box office at 020 7452 3000 or visit nationaltheatre.org.uk. THE ROOF will tour in the summer with dates to be announced soon.
