Tens of thousands of years ago, a genetic mutation gave rise to the physical manifestation of red hair in humans.

Now, like many, they are endangered. Air is slowly emptying from a large transparent inflatable structure, ultimately sealing its inhabitants in preserved isolation.

Dancenorth uses the plight of its dancers as an allegory for a contracting world. A world where biodiversity is progressively being suffocated and silenced.

Epic and intimate, RED illuminates the universal challenge of our survival. Time is running out.
