Get Here (2013)

In a year when Ireland was calling on its diaspora to return for "THE GATHERING" of which St Patricks Festival Dublin was a key event, we celebrated the theme of coming home by creating a carnival version of 60's cartoon series "Wacky Races" featuring a variety of steampunk vehicles (Bathtub Boat, Submarine, Steam Engine, Helicopters and a Silver Rocket) in which the Irish abroad could return to these shores if they wanted to make a more unorthodox journey home. One of the tunes we used in the parade was a version of the 80's/90's classic "I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can".

These props later combined with flying machines from our "Weathermakers" production to form a parade alongside Spraoi carnival group from Waterford for the "World Police and Fire Games" in Belfast in July 2013.
