The Children of Mike: A story of the estranged human severed from ancient kinship. A collection of mischievous tales in which the more-than-human-world offers counsel to the lost human. 

With an opening act by Pete the Temp. A poet, comic and author, whose work combines spoken word, human beatbox and experimental sound poetry.

Once upon a time, once below a time, once between a time, once outside a time. There was the Microbe. Before God and before hubris. Mike the shapeshifter. Mike the subversive. Did you know that most of your cells aren’t human cells? You are mostly bacteria. What happens when your bacteria is starved, degraded and lonely? 

The story asks: Whose world is this? Do you own the pavement beneath your feet? Do you see the invisible faces on the street? We live in boxes and walk in lines. 

When was the last time you wept to the mountain or cursed the bog? 

The human used to move with grace and humility. The human used to seek council and responsibility. What must we do to save our lonely souls, to save our lonely soils, to save our lonely rock?

Worms Theatre Company seeks to affect social change through collective creativity. We are not-for-profit, which means every penny wriggles straight back into our community initiatives — we have raised money for charitable causes (like £1500 for Planetary Repairs) and ran a two year program at Adventure Playground, Felix Road offering weekly theatre and creative opportunities for young people. 

There shall be badgers, pigeons, microbes, religion. There shall be dancing and deities.
