  • Time 4:00 pm till 5:00 pm

By Requardt & Rosenberg

Join as an audience assembles in Whitgift Shopping Centre, in the heart of Croydon. A couple browse the shop windows. Two men join the queue for a coffee. A bag of shopping is left forgotten on a bench. Someone wishes they were somewhere else. The ground softens, shop fronts melt away, from the distance a song begins to seep from cracks in the floor. Someone, somewhere starts to move.

Experience Whitgift Shopping Centre from a whole new perspective. Using headphones to connect to music, audiences become a part of a surreal world that blurs the boundaries between reality and performance.

Super Normal Extra Natural is a new, community-based performance made with the people of Croydon, from the creators of experiential performances Future Cargo and DeadClub™. Dancers and singers are joined by Croydon locals to take over Whitgift Shopping Centre in this unique, intimate and constantly surprising dance spectacle.

Croydon residents can book £1 tickets (normally  £8 full price or £5 concession). You’ll be asked to share your post-code during the booking process to verify your Croydon address
