Insects are vanishing, and this will cause big problems for us and the planet. Find out what makes insects special and the incredible things they can do before it’s too late.

 

Featuring songs and performances inspired by the latest discoveries about insects from researchers at Newcastle University and beyond, and the brilliantly imaginative ideas from students at Hotspur and Christ Church CE Primary Schools in Newcastle.

 

Come along to see our work in progress performance and be the first to see how the show is taking shape.

 

The show will be followed by a Q&A with the Director Brad McCormick from Cap-a-Pie and Dr Vivek Nityananda from Newcastle University.
