Details:

In the summer of 1834 a moving panorama depicting the recently opened Liverpool and Manchester Railway was shown in London. This presentation attempts to recreate aspects of the show based on the information available from published sources.

The presentation will depict the proposed location of the panorama performance and the consequent affordances and constraints. The possible component parts of the performance will be detailed and a theatre suitable for its display rezzed on stage.
