The Nova sculpture is based on the mystical Star of the East, which astronomers now believe was actually a nova. As a spectator, you will feel like you are experiencing a nova or ”new” star - mighty and dazzling.

Imagine a star falling on the shore, and another star falling, a thousand stars all drifting down to shine on the night waves landing. Take a journey to the heart of a spiral galaxy and make a wish upon the stars.

Pause: Reimagined blends cutting-edge technology with visual artwork created by Hartlepool residents. Using photography, printmaking and abstract mark-making, participants explored their connection with place and time.

Guided by the stars (and the audience), this comedic walkabout performance invites families to help the duo navigate their way using dot-to-dot star charts, bubbles, sea sounds and laughter.
