UniVerse: A Dark Crystal Odyssey is a moving and startling meditation on the climate crisis. State-of-the-art immersive technology envelops super-human choreography in this contemporary ode to change. Inspired by the Jim Henson cult classic The Dark Crystal about an ailing planet and a divided race, UniVerse depicts an earth riven by extremes and urgently in need of healing. Breathtaking digital environments and cutting-edge costumes create a stunning blend of fantasy and documentary, while high tensile choreography in dialogue with spoken word, powerfully evokes the inseparability of humanity and nature. Performed by the extraordinary dancers of Company Wayne McGregor, this is a modern eco-myth that asks how we can come together to be whole again.
 
A team of world-class creatives led by choreographer and director Wayne McGregor, includes composer Joel Cadbury, film designer Ravi Deepres, lighting designer Lucy Carter, spoken word artist Isaiah Hull, dramaturg Uzma Hameed, costume designer Philip Delamore and face-and-body artist Alex Box. This collaboration explores themes of nature, exploitation, courage and rescue in an epic adventure through a troubled world in the context of our own ailing planet. The show is about innate deep knowledge of good and evil, and the umbilical connection with the natural world. McGregor explores the modern myth of how we can hold together to be whole again.
