Earthfall dance through the Chelsea Hotel, with unique Augmented Reality APP
UK Tour, 1st October – 5th December 2013

Check in to Chelsea Hotel - where every room has a story to tell


Chelsea Hotel blazes a trail from Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe to Dylan Thomas and Tennessee Williams; several stories, true and false, interplay through a voyeuristic discovery of the inhabitant’s lives, loves and longings. Over 70 minutes Earthfall reveals the poetry and tragicomic events from the iconic Chelsea Hotel and its place in contemporary culture, performed through dynamic dance, live music and film.
Jessica Cohen, Co-Artistic Director, commented:

“Our production is a crazy mixture of poetic movement, sex, violence, rock and roll, anger, companionship, cowboys and ghosts. It blends truth with lies, reality with fantasy. Projected images layer in narrative, environment and story fragments told directly to camera. We found an essence of the place and a spirit of those who inhabited it; slowly our ‘Chelsea Hotel’ emerged as our story.”



Alongside the show Earthfall is hosting a series of participatory workshops for different groups plus a range of workshops. To find out more please visit www.earthfall.org.uk/participate.

The app is free to download from any smart phone app store, and was created in partnership with

Tradebox Media with funding from the Arts Council Wales through their Audience Development Fund.
