Two performances of Out of the Deep Blue by Autin Dance Theatre are taking place in Northernhay Gardens on Saturday 12 August as part of the Exeter Phoenix Theatre in the Park summer season.

The outdoor shows combine dance, movement and puppetry to explore the climate and biodiversity crises, and are suitable for all ages.

They take the form of an interactive promenade with a physical theatre duet, and aim to transport audiences to another world.
