The Wheel
The Wheel is a mobile stage production and giant moving, remote-controlled sculpture. Within a gleaming self-propelled hub-less wheel, a miniature character walks inside, on a seemingly epic journey. IOU's new interactive stage production has been presented at Culturedale Opening Celebration and at York University's Festival of Ideas
