The performance is fully accessible and is for audiences living with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities.

When we are still, we can feel the world turning…

Join us on an adventure, where your senses lead the way. Within a living landscape of over 300 plants, a fantastical world of sound, singing, lights, shadows, scents and puppetry will come to life. This award-winning show playfully explores our connection with each other and the world around us.

Lakeside Arts is grateful for the generous support of FunDays in Nottinghamshire for this performance.
