Liverpool Cathedral - World Premiere
commissioned by Liverpool Culture Company as part of '08

dreamthinkspeak returns with an inspiring promenade performance through the interior of Liverpool's remarkable Anglican Cathedral

"This is a fantastic piece of work"
The Guardian on Don’t Look Back

"It's brilliant stuff."
The Independent on Sunday on Underground

The world premiere of One Step Forward, One Step Back takes place at the city's magnificent Anglican Cathedral and uses Liverpool’s vibrant cityscape as its backdrop. 

The audience will take part in a journey of intimate, engaging and unexpected theatre which will weave through the awe-inspiring building into areas never seen before by the public – including the rarely visited cathedral rooftop.

Previous performances by internationally acclaimed theatre company dreamthinkspeak have taken place in an art deco cinema, backstage at a theatre, in an old abattoir, at the former Majestic hotel in Kuala Lumpur and a vast disused paper factory in Moscow. Famous landmark public buildings include Somerset House in London, New Registry House, Edinburgh and the Old Treasury in Perth and the Torrens Building in Adelaide, Australia. 

Inspired by Dante's Paradiso and William Blake's poem Milton, the production responds uniquely to the Cathedral's interior and looks externally to the city beyond, asking the question: What is Paradise? 

Audience members can expect a memorable, sometimes touching and personal encounter through this innovative production which utilises models, film, music and live action. The production will draw together an impressive company of 60 professional performers, local students, designers and technicians.
