THE GARDEN,
THE STYX AND
THE UNDERWORLD
explore the sensory wonderland of ancient dreams with Persephone, Demeter and Hades...
This new performance is a sensory installation aimed at people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).
It is based on three distinct worlds and characters...
Conjure spells and listen to the whispers of the wind in Demeter’s garden…
Take in the perfumes from travellers of the past in the River Styx…
Finally, feel the depths of the earth alongside the god of The Underworld.
The performance is a very bespoke experience tailored to the sensory pleasures of each audience member - an intimate chance to explore different sensory interactions alongside live dance and music.
