The Rag and Bone Man is coming with Alfie the horse and his cart full of goodies...
He needs your help to build The Tin Forest.
He wants your stories, your songs, your wishes and promises for the future, your close to forgotten objects...
There was once a wide, windswept place, near nowhere and close to forgotten,
that was filled with all the things that no one wanted...
A celebration of Glasgow's industrial past and creative future.
Taking place at the South Rotunda, across Glasgow and across the Commonwealth.
Part of the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme.
Inspired by the book by Helen Ward and Wayne Anderson
Led by Graham McLaren and Simon Sharkey
Produced in association with Scottish Youth Theatre and supported by Glasgow Life, Creative Scotland, Homecoming 2014 and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation
As Glasgow prepares to welcome the world in 2014, The Tin Forest invites the people of Glasgow to retell the city's story, to reimagine its future and to take part in the reinvention of the iconic South Rotunda into a remarkable performance space for theatre-makers and artists from all over the Commonwealth.
As part of Festival 2014, the Commonwealth Games-time Glasgow based strand of the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme, The Tin Forest at the South Rotunda will play host to an immersive puppet experience, a large scale visual art installation, live music and an international theatre festival featuring companies from Scotland, England, Jamaica, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Malta and India.
