See what audiences had to say about BABEL on youtube

‘One of the outstanding theatrical events not only of this year but of the decade’
The Observer on WildWorks’ The Passion

‘One of the ten coolest companies coming to London in 2012’
Time Out on WildWorks and BABEL

A spectacular outdoor show especially created for Caledonian Park, BABEL is staged through a unique partnership between WildWorks and Battersea Arts Centre and will feature a cast of 300.

The roots of BABEL go far back, beyond memory, to one of our first stories – ‘in the beginning the people was one’. They felt compelled to gather, to create something extraordinary together, and so they built a city and the Tower. Over time both were abandoned. The people fled to the far corners of the earth and the first tribes were formed.

In 2012, with the eyes of the world on London, the people are gathering again. The lost Tower has been rediscovered and its voice heard for the first time in living memory.
