Station House Opera's commission for CREATE09 took as its starting point the simplest of ideas... a line of dominoes. On Sunday 26th July 2009, thousands of concrete blocks were used to create a moving sculpture unfolding over the course of the day with the help of a huge production team supported by hundreds of volunteers.

As part of CREATE09 and the winner of the Bank of America CREATE Art Award, the thousands of breeze block dominoes made their way southwards through East and South East London, finishing at dusk in Greenwich.

In addition, the project will result in a film, not only of the performance elements, but with additional material filmed in each of the five host boroughs including footage of the dominoes making their way underground through a Victorian sewer, travelling by boat down Regent's Canal and through the Greenwich foot tunnel. The film will be produced during Autumn 2009.
