DIRT! A Circus Adventure Underground, is an immersive, multi-sensory performance and installation for intergenerational audiences (5+), inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic tale. With aerial circus, puppetry, immersive design & an audio describing earthworm, DIRT invites audiences to fall down the worm-hole and journey underground into the living ecosystem of the soil, exploring our connection to the earth & each other.
The Story…
While tidying the fallen leaves from her lawn one day, Human (a human) finds herself falling headfirst down a giant wormhole, landing at the centre of an underground circus! She’s as shocked to be there as the ‘Worms of Wonder’ are to suddenly have an unrehearsed human in the ring, but the show must go on, and besides, they could do with an extra pair of hands to fix the place up, the circus really has seen better days… Join Human and the Worms as they struggle to keep the walls from crumbling, and try to discover what’s destroying the circus…
