Description An explosive dance theatre work set in a subway during rush hour. Audiences are transported to a world where commuters slip between mundane reality and a vivid dream world ? disconnected from each other, yet capable of great compassion and tenderness. Underground shifts from darkly moody to hilariously funny to terrifyingly athletic. (website)

Underground is an explosive new dance theatre work, showcasing the gusty choreography of Dancenorth's Artistic Director, Gavin Webber, in collaboration with his young dancers. Underground is set in a subway during rush hour, a place of crowded isolation, familiar yet strange. Audiences are transported to a world where commuters slip between mundane reality and a vivid dream world, disconnected from each other yet capable of great compassion and tenderness.
