Journey deep into the earth during this atmospheric sound walk and immersive performance.
Geology, sci-fi and rave culture come together in a guided tour through the fascinating geological processes that continually shape Liverpool’s landscape. Guided by performers, you’ll listen to the stories of the rocks beneath your feet- using beautiful, hand-crafted aluminium geophones -and foster a deeper connection to the natural world.
Programmed in collaboration with the Liverpool Biennial, a free festival of contemporary visual art.
Please note that this event will be an outdoors walking tour. The route is approximately 1km, starting in the courtyard of The Bluecoat (8 School Ln, Liverpool L1 3BX) and ending on Mann Island (L3 1BP). Please wear comfortable footwear and clothes appropriate for the day's weather conditions.
