The city is alive. Wandering the streets, The Child, The Poet and Death trace memories and map dreams onto a landscape shifting under the spell of time. Inspired by the eclectic work of Adrian Henri in the 50th anniversary year of The Mersey Sound, Horny Handed Tons of Soil fuses beat poetry with folk song; electronic composition with live brass and percussion; documentary film with theatrical storytelling. From the writer and composers of Narvik (Box of Tricks) and The Sum (Liverpool Everyman), this original and innovative piece of theatre explores the myth, magic and reality of the modern city.
