Fuel presents Requardt & Rosenberg’s The Roof 

Commissioned by LIFT and presented in association with the National Theatre 

What would happen if you found yourself inside the head of an avatar? What if that avatar was then thrust into a brutal and unforgiving game? 

The Roof’s intimate three-dimensional sound, delivered via headphones transported you into the body of a reluctant hero desperate to stay alive. The performers blended free running and contemporary dance in a fast-paced, perilous performance in a purpose-built arena. 

Following Electric Hotel and Motor Show, The Roof was the third REQUARDT&ROSENBERG production, conceived, directed and choreographed by David Rosenberg (co-founder of Shunt) and Frauke Requardt.
