Royal Docks Originals
Rekindling
French fire alchemists, Compagnie Carabosse and Royal Docks communities combine to create Rekindling, an evocative fire installation on land and water. Featuring sounds, music and stories from around the docks, Rekindling will reflect on memories of the past and hopes for Royal Docks’ future.
Rekindling explores the metamorphosis of the Royal Docks. Built during the Industrial Revolution as the largest enclosed docks in the world, Royal Docks aided London’s growth as a global city. Now the area is reemerging as a centre for enterprise, innovation and culture powered by its diverse communities, pioneering spirit, and global links.
One of France’s most important street arts groups, Compagnie Carabosse have delighted thousands of visitors across the world. Rekindling will be the company’s first visit to the capital since the London’s Burning event in 2016, which marked 350 years since the Great Fire of London.
This event will be just as spectacular - don’t miss it!
