Pioneering pedal-powered theatre!

Pip Productions is delighted to be partnering with Magnificent Revolution to create an entirely bicycle-powered piece of theatre. BICYCLE THIEVES is a new play inspired by Luigi Bartolini's novel LADRI DI BICICLETTE - relocated to London in 2011, it is a bravura celebration of BMX culture, combining theatre, bike choreography and pedal-powered sound. An involving, interactive outdoor experience, performed against the backdrop of the Olympic Park.

The £500 raised through WeFund will enable Magnificent Revolution to build a custom bicycle-powered generator for BICYCLE THIEVES, and to train Pip Productions in how to make and maintain it.

We look forward to sharing our pedal-powered vision with you at The View Tube from 1st - 6th July 2011 at 7pm as part of CREATE 11!

BICYCLE THIEVES

TESTIMONIALS:

"The View Tube is delighted to be launching BICYCLE THIEVES as part of Create 2011. Pip Productions creates work that is both innovative and relevant, and this pedal-powered production developed for The Greenway, an important environmental and cycle route, could not be more fitting. We're very proud to be supporting BICYCLE THIEVES at this early stage in its development." - Rosie Murdoch, Manager, The View Tube

“RB Kensington and Chelsea Arts Service were proud to commission Pip Productions to develop their first production of Bicycle Thieves as part of 2010’s InTRANSIT festival. [It is] a beautiful piece of theatre, delivered to very high standards by a dynamic and innovative creative team. Working in partnership with an organisation such as Magnificent Revolution will challenge the team further, and thus push the creative boundaries of the production.” - Rebecca Pelly-Fry, Arts Development Officer, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Arts Service

“I had the chance to see the show at an early stage in the summer of 2010. The show was delightful and all of the audience members clearly enjoyed it. It is a show which would benefit from having resources put into it, thereby being able to develop its potential. Without these resources the show is unlikely to be all that it could be. This would be a shame, as this is a theatre production which engages the audience and is a novel, fun experience.” - Romilly Walton Masters, Director, Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust
