Step into an underground world of roots, soil and fungi in Beneath the Breathing Ground, a magical performance combining dance and live music.

Follow four characters on a journey to reconnect a hidden network beneath the ground, guided by the plants and natural world around them. The music is created using real plants, with sounds shaped by their natural electrical signals.

Created by Manchester-based collective Bionic and the Wires, this imaginative show is a unique way to experience nature through movement, music and storytelling.

Performances take place on Saturday 30 May at 2:00pm and 6:30pm.
