Tales of the Apocalypse

Shunt, London Bridge

The prophecies are coming true. Tales of the Apocalypse looked towards the end of civilisation through an explosive collection of aerial circus, physical theatre and strange visions of the future.

Crazed astronauts, forgotten androids, radiation sickness and the shadow of Death emerged beneath the arches at Shunt, with each piece revealing another glimpse of collapse, survival and the strange new world beginning to take shape.
