High above our heads an epic story about coventry unfolds, brick by brick.

Inspired by Coventry’s architectural evolution, HOME is a collaboration with Highly Sprung, that celebrates our understanding of how home is what we build around us… our heritage and our future – featuring a cast of Coventry locals.

Coventry, a place rich in history, legend and architecture. An industrial powerhouse blighted by austerity and recession. A city defined by the people who make it home.

Throwing new light onto old and daring to dream of exciting times to come, Home tells the story of the Coventry’s past, present and future through sky-scraping aerial dance, music and digital projection, performed by a highly talented community cast
