Top secret

A large-scale live performance on the site of the former US air-base at Alconbury Weald in 2018.

Site Specific show was created in and for the ‘Magic Mountain’ cold war bunker at the former US Airbase in Alconbury

40 young people (13-18 yrs) designed, made, performed and managed a new show alongside NIE’s international artists in the former Nuclear Bunker.

A local audience enjoyed the promenade show featuring animation, sound, film and performance revealing the ‘secrets’ of Alconbury Weald, former U2 Spy Plane base.

Supported by Heritage Lottery Fund, NIE and the young people took members of the public on guided tours of the bunker as part of the Heritage Open Days in September 2016.
