Space Panorama with Andrew Dawson

World renowned theatre experimentalist, Andrew Dawson is coming to Race Brook Lodge to perform his most beloved work multidisciplinary performance work, Space Panorama.

Space Panorama is an utterly hypnotic solo recreation of the Apollo 11 moon landing, using only Dawson’s hands, to create a constantly entrancing documentary of the entire mission. Accompanied by Shostakovich’s 10th symphony and a dramatic, lively narration Dawson takes us from Houston to the moon and returns us safely to earth, conveying the colossal distances and the risks involved simply through the deftness skilled movement in his hands.

Created in 1987, SPACE PANORAMA has played at theatres and festivals throughout the world from an astronaut reunion dinner in Houston for Buzz Aldrin and John Young to the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing at the Kennedy Centre to the Intrepid Air and Space museum (under the wing of the shuttle) in New York to Tom Hanks’ 67th birthday.

‘An outstanding presentation’ – Astronaut John Young (Gemini 3, 10, Apollo 10,16, commander of the first Space Shuttle)

“Dawson has an astonishingly eloquent physical Presence.” – The Observer

“It must be seen for the mobility of Dawson’s hands, which play all the parts from rocket to moon lander. Great fun for the whole family.” – The Guardian
