Seed
Seed is a highly visual and technically ambitious show, best described as a poetic, anarchic and inspiring journey from small acorns to great oak trees. It is a thoroughly researched and beautifully fantastical exploration of our relationship with the long-suffering plants that keep us fed, sheltered and breathing. Guaranteed to amaze and get you thinking!
Biography
It is staring down the barrel of climate change, seed gene patenting, monocultures and the many species of trees falling due to this onslaught.
It is the visual and movement theatre story of Wilford, “one of the unseen”, as he scrapes and digs and blasts the seed holes and co-opts the water and food to feed his charges. It’s a story of pulsating plant beats, pneumatic theatrical explosions, flying soil and water, resource liberation, live music and a giant tree growing out of a shed.
The show is set up on a pottering shed on wheels that looks and smells like it’s been dragged backwards through Burning Man and kept on doing its job.
Into this shed these performers condense the groundbreaking theatrical wizardry they have been developing for high profile collaborators and turn it into a story of Wilford’s trade, weaving us into his tale of contraband cultivation, his struggles, his enemies and his joys.
Audiences will leave the show inspired and enlightened, knowing that their actions can make a difference. They’ll have the knowledge that they can all start their own forests, one seed at a time. They just needed someone to believe in.
Seed is perfect for: Street entertainment, environmental events, nature-themed events, conservation events, corporate events, children’s events, private functions
