‘To Kiss a Sailor’ is evocative love story of a sailor and his lover performed through a range of stunning acrobatics in the rigging of Square Sail’s tall ship ‘Phoenix’.

This romantic aerial courtship unfolds through tentative dance moves on deck, chivalrous showing off in the ratlines and a stunning array of counter-weight flying, corde-lisse climbing and tumbling over the dock.

Mirroring each other’s moves as they cartwheel and glide throughout the rig, the lovers continually try to meet but are repeatedly pulled apart through the challenges of distance, timing and bad weather

‘To Kiss a Sailor’ is a unique new aerial show devised and directed by Charlie Murphy in collaboration with aerialists Vicky McManus, Alexander Poulter and High Performance Rigging.

Commissioned by Walk the Plank and Liverpool City Council, this unique show has been developed specifically for its premiere at ‘On the Waterfront’ festival in July 2010 and is produced by Remarkable Productions.
