This outdoor, site-specific production takes audiences on a journey to a hidden landscape, officially closed to the public for more than a century.

Last seen at GDIF in 2017 with their production of A View from the Bridge, De Roovers is one of Flanders most respected theatre companies, returning with a production which will take audiences to a restricted 250 acre site, which holds memories for local residents of munitions factories from the Royal Arsenal and, with their demolition and the establishment of Thamesmead in the late 1960’s, of childhood explorations.
