Friday 11th September 7.30pm - Starts Market Square
A thrilling processional extravaganza through the streets of Wick. The legendary voyage to America by Henry Sinclair was brought to life by a cast of hundreds. A spectacle full of adventure, shipwrecks, battles, secret maps, and strange lands featuring giant puppets, historic boats, stilt walkers, fireworks, dancing drama and much much more. Theatre Modo worked with over 200 young people from across Caithness to create the performance. Groups were involved creating routines using stilt walking, fire performance, dance and street theatre, while others made props, costumes, lanterns and banners for the event.
