1, 2, 3 resilient mushrooms! is an homage to the mushroom and a hymn for hope. This performance tells the story of a landscape, treated poorly and almost abandoned, but not just yet, not by the mushrooms. Through ceilidh dancing, physical storytelling and Scottish traditional music, we show the underdog journey of three resilient mushrooms that not only survive but thrive, the only way they can, as a community. This performance, created for children of all ages and for every member of the family, is a dance-inducing celebration of life, an invitation to care for the smaller pockets of the world, and an opportunity to hold hands and be together, because there can never be enough of those. This performance invites light moments of audience participation.
In addition to the set performance times in the Spinning Shed, you may find the mushrooms popping up around the venue, throughout family day. Age: 5-10 year olds (but suitable for all ages and their adults!)
This performance is made by lovebug + worm with fiddle-player and performer Eilidh Inara and costume-maker Kiera Saunders. It was commissioned by OneRen and Imaginate, supported by the Village Storytelling Centre.
Find the story of the mushrooms in the Spinning Shed at 11am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm.
