London has a new, and most importantly, free biennial festival. Royal Docks Originals will see over 50 events take place across the industrial riverside district, including world-class arts, installations, and original performances, all inspired by the area’s unique landscape and revealing its stories, history, heritage, plus shining a light on the aspirations of the Royal Docks community.
Highlights include fire installation Rekindling, created by French flame aficionados Compagnie Carabosse, which will feature flickering sculptures not seen in London since the company last showed their work in the capital in 2016. There’ll also be illuminated light artworks by Chila Kumari Singh Burman MBE, a live art piece on the IFS Cloud Cable Car from three commissioned artists including a composer, a poet, and a visual artist. There’ll also be tours giving a behind-the-scenes look at the Millennium Mills and The Factory creative studios, plus much more.
See the Royal Docks Originals website for the full programme.
