"So beautifully sublime; the depth of pure authenticity, ridiculous skills and breathtaking honesty..." 

For Whom The Bell Tolls

A declaration of hope.

A hope is not a wish, but a protest for what is possible. 

 

Performed at dusk below an iconic bell, Bridie Hooper invites you to share your hopes and bear witness to a series of performed passages that inspire a reconsideration of our unity and connection.    

 

Drawing on the bell’s sonic wonder, the virtuosity of circus, and the intimacy of the invitation, each hope is transformed through a personalised physical rite, ascending to its release in the distinctive sound of the tolling bell. 

 

Ringing out across the landscape, these calls to action celebrate the power of hope, empowering us through an innately human experience.  

 

What do you hope for…?
