Lungs of Our City

A dance theatre work for our times…

3 male performers inhabit a futuristic space where wanderers of a desolate world come together to breathe in our polluted cities. In this emotional, athletic and timely work that explores our hopes and fears for the future, witness a world that questions what happens if we come together, reverse the top-down dynamic and change our vision of the future.

Featuring haunting music from Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha, a striking 4m tall scaffold tree and the company’s trademark physicality, Lungs of Our City invites the audience to become a part of the experience! As the music picks up and the energy builds, the audience are encouraged to clap, cheer and move together as a collective. Together we'll create a powerful energy that will propel us towards our future hopes and wishes.

After the music subsides we'll be encouraging each individual to make wishes for their future or the future of our planet. Take a moment individually or collectively to focus your intention and then write your wish onto one of our leaves and hang it off our wishing tree, sending them out into the universe.

Suitable for all ages.
