A World Beneath Us was an At Home sensory show sent in the post. It was experienced by families across the country during Summer 2024, and was theirs to keep forever.
About A World Beneath Us
There’s an invisible world beneath your feet.
Out of sight, beneath the forest floor, an underground network connects the natural world. Mycelium – the name for these interconnected threads – is essential to the wellbeing of the soil and plants around it. Though mycelium may be hidden, they are still powerful. They may be small, but they’re still mighty.
A World Beneath Us unearths these magical, natural networks to explore the hidden world in the heart of each home. This sensory experience reflects and celebrates each family as its own ecosystem. Just by being, each person plays an important part in their network. We might not always see these connections from the outside, at times they might feel small, but the impact of our roots runs deep.
A World Beneath Us is a sensory theatrical experience sent in the post. Including a sensory film and sensory boxes, it has been designed for disabled children who experience the most barriers to accessing shows in theatre venues and their families to enjoy together at home.
