Acrojou's The Wheel House is a tender, post-apocalyptic love story which unfolds inside and around a circular set as it rolls forward, the audience walking alongside. In this performance stunning design and theatrical acrobatics are housed in an exquisite, hand-built rolling set.

The company's flagship show, The Wheel House has been touring worldwide since 2008. The piece was devised, designed and created by Acrojou, with initial direction from Flick Ferdinando and set by TMB Design. Commissioned as a walkabout by Without Walls (2008) and funded for development by Applause (2011).
