Traversing fractured earth.

Escaping a surface world littered with crises, we burrow into soil and stone to seek shelter.

Experience a contemporary dance performance that entangles natural symphonies with industrialised extraction, as four dancers dig closer to the polyrhythms of the core.

SUB cracks through our resistance to hope, a soft defiance in the enduring relationship of bodies and materials. In this place that both attracts and scares us – this wet, restless and difficult place – we engage with the terror and volatility of the living natural world.
