11 Sep 07Inside Out Festival Comes To Poole
Poole Quay has been chosen to host a performance of international street theatre as part of an arts festival which is coming to Dorset's most magical locations.
The 'Inside Out 07' Festival 
will be in Poole on Saturday 15 September from 8.00pm when 'Sarruga', a production company from Spain, will be performing 'Peixos' (fish from the sea), creating an underwater world through the art of street theatre.
This colourful parade will begin on the Lower High Street, taking spectators along the quayside. Aquatic creatures and scuba divers will swim amongst the crowd, whilst luminescent jellyfish will dance above heads accompanied by music and light.
Nickola Moore, Arts Development Manager, said: "We are thrilled that Poole Quay has been chosen to host this event. Borough of Poole's Art Development team have worked closely with Poole Tourism to make this event possible. Sarruga is an internationally renowned theatre company and the show will be spectacular. Spectators are in for a real treat and will experience something like they have never seen before."
Cllr Peter Adams, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Culture, said: " This is a welcome addition to a full and varied programme of events in Poole which cater for all tastes and age groups. The Lighthouse in Poole is the regional centre for the arts and events like this show how renowned Poole is for performing art. Everybody concerned should be congratulated for this excellent achievement. "
