Tower Hamlets 2017

For the biggest bonfire night display in London, we wanted to do something a little bit different this year so we chose a sci fi theme, partly inspired by David Bowie’s iconic 1970s film ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’.

In the year that would have marked his 70^th birthday, we also chose some of his music to provide the thematic context for the show which also included the intervention of ‘flying saucers’ to mark the arrival of a spaceman on Planet Earth.

The dramatic possibilities of a theme like this allowed us to create a show that had a really strong narrative, with a compelling sound track of space-related sounds and music, leading to a tumultuous finale in front of an estimated crowd of c80,000 people.
