Rituals for Earthly Survival (closing)
Advertisement
At dusk, the Children of the Compost open a space for encounter — with each other, with the dead, with the more-than-human. You are welcome to witness, wander, or be drawn into the dance.
Step inside the Round Tower and discover Rituals for Earthly Survival — an immersive world of light, sound, and movement. Guided by the Children of the Compost, you’ll wander through a living forest where shadows whisper, voices echo, and time bends. This is not theatre to watch, but a ritual to enter: a space for care, reflection, and imagination. Come as you are, stay as long as you wish, and leave with questions.
Rituals for Earthly Survival is an immersive artwork that transforms the Round Tower into a living forest of light, sound, and movement. Created with dancers, artists, and the Children of the Compost, it invites you to step inside, slow down, and imagine new ways of living together on a fragile planet.
Visitors are welcome to drop in at any time, though space inside the venue is limited and entry may be on a one-in, one-out basis during busy periods.
FREE!
Part of POSE (Portsmouth Open Studios): a programme of free arts events in Portsmouth. Supported by Hot Walls Studios.
