Tatum, alongside his co-director and choreographer Alison Faulk, revealed the production would be set in the world’s largest purpose-built Spiegeltent called ‘The Arcadia’. The tent will sit on Birrarung Marr and features a 600-seat theatre surrounded by grand spiral staircases, a multi-storey fully-functional bar that also acts as a jungle gym for the performers, an art gallery of Tatum’s photography and a glass barrier on the second level where the dancers also perform.
