Acclaimed Bristol collective Raucous, who gave us the extraordinary promenade performance The Stick House (our review) back in 2015, return this autumn with their new show.
Raucous will transform a disused Edwardian swimming bath into the snow-covered streets of Leningrad for their second production.
Set in 1942, during the siege of Leningrad and in the coldest winter in living memory, Ice Road harnesses Russian folktale and survivor accounts to tell a story of the children that war leaves behind.
In the wreckage of an old apartment block, four orphans are compelled to join forces to survive the murderous Leningrad blockade. Through a cruel winter, enemy shelling and gnawing hunger, Leah, Zoya, Tati and Kub fantasise of escape on the only road out of the city – the Ice Road.
