Award-nominated and a London sell-out, this five-star spectacle follows James, a man who, after trauma, turns to the hidden universe of microbes. Using handcrafted imagery, analogue projection and movement, Mycelium Theatre Company transforms the invisible into vast cinematic landscapes. Blending science and handcrafted illusion, the show documents a story of survival and re-emergence. This visually epic experience invites audiences to look closer and rediscover wonder in the smallest corners of existence. Beautiful, funny and awe-inspiring, it shifts your sense of scale and leaves you seeing and experiencing the world differently.
