Fireworks in the harbour and lighting the medieval beacon at Dover Castle link the sea, the harbour, and historic white cliffs. A moving soundscape of nostalgic songs with a contemporary twist will complete this show.
Partners and supporters for this event include Kent County Council, Dover District Council, Dover Pride with substantial support from Arts Council England and Dover Harbour Board.
"Just as rugby, karate and roller sports struggle to be recognised as Olympic Sports, so fireworks struggle to be recognised as an art form. Britain has a strong tradition of using fire and fireworks creatively and the cultural Olympiad offers tremendous opportunity to celebrate our skills," says TWF director, Mike Roberts.
The World Famous has an impressive four-year plan for the Cultural Olympiad which includes a massive reconstruction of the great fire of London featuring a series of uniquely British sculptural bonfires.
