Vox Motus’s groundbreaking international hit production in an exclusive presentation.   

Two orphaned brothers embark on a desperate odyssey to freedom and safety, in a heart-wrenching road story of terror, hope and survival. Combining unsettling themes with spellbinding images, Flight draws you into a fragile miniature world in a gripping story of two children adrift in dangerous lands.  

Flight was initially commissioned by the Edinburgh International Festival in 2017 in association with the Beacon Arts Centre. This unique immersive experience has thrilled audiences in New York, London and across the world. 

Seated in your own personal booth, you will watch the story unfold in images and models with speech and music conveyed through individual headphones.
