Part of Tramway's Dance International Glasgow festival, 9 - 24 May A dynamic and visually stunning aerial show for families and children that explores the joy of friendship Friday 23 May, 2pm and 6.45pm (Each performance is 1 hour long) Two friends perform breathtaking aerial shows. They fly, spin, hang from the rooftops and fall out of the sky… But they weren’t always so glorious. How did they transform from feeling like outsiders, unable to fit in, to the fantastical creatures they always knew they had inside them? The Unlikely Friendship of Feather Boy and Tentacle Girl is the touching story of a girl who wants to be a monster and a boy who wants to fly. Exploring the universal yearning to belong and sharing the joy of friendship, this is a dynamic and visually stunning aerial show. Recommended for ages 9+ ACCESS The 2pm performance is Relaxed: Audiences can leave and re-enter the space as they please throughout.
