Mushroom Language: A Fungal Gothic

They eat nappies
They eat toothbrushes
They eat bombs
They eat newspapers about how the world will end…
a species running slowly in parallel preaching change silently digesting muck into matter and back again.

Mushroom Language: A Fungal Gothic is about the cycles that shape us – eruption, reproduction and decay. It’s about role-playing the lichen love stories, spore shoot-outs and truffle siren songs found in our forests.

In an eerie and funny homage to folk horror, two human performers absorb and mimic ‘mushroom language’ through ritual and power dynamics. Who are these creatures, and what are the mushrooms trying to tell them? Dreamlike conversations and movement sequences are underpinned by original music from composer Hannah Miller (of the Moulettes) and playful design by Rūta Irbīte.

Mushrooms offer us a lens into a more sustainable future, but nature is hilarious and terrifying.
