Back on Track, Kilter's summer show for 2008, was a bicycle caravan along the former Bath to Bristol railway path, with both cast and audience on their bikes. A provocative and playful insight into the post-oil future of transport, Back on Track peddled into a world imaginatively forged from the inspiring stories of the old railway path. The production used Kilter's trademark designs hewn from found, recycled materials.
Before or after attending Back On Track, audience members were encouraged to drop in to Kilter's accompanying exhibition 'Back in the Bike Shed'. Amongst the oil and spanners of a working bike-shop, the audience could see Kilter's behind the scenes research. Based at John's Bikes Workshop, Bath, Kilter offered people the chance to interact with the show's characters and with Kilter's devising process. People with an opinion on sustainable transport were offered the chance to climb aboard a soap-box and let rip. video here
