Dominoes

Dominoes takes as its starting point the simplest of ideas, a line of dominoes. Thousands of breeze blocks are used to create a moving sculpture which unfolds across the entire city.

On streets, in parks, through buildings and even on water, occasionally disappearing and then resurfacing, the domino line threads its way through historic and everyday parts of the city, linking its diverse communities in a chain of cause and effect. Hundreds of volunteers and audience members gather together to make this exceptional and unique event.

Dominoes creates an alternative vision of the city, counterpointing, complementing and subverting the architecture, and for a brief moment reclaiming the city streets for its inhabitants. Dominoes was created in London and has travelled to more than 20 cities, including Copenhagen, Marseille, Ljubljana, Ghent, Hull and Melbourne.

“As stunningly visual as it is visionary.”

“Strikingly dynamic, confusing, funny and alarming… unlike any other performance art I’ve seen.”
