Let your roots dig deep into the fertile sensory soil of Mulch Underground, the bar and performance venue for rainbow molluscs, plant lovers and off-duty flora.

Following the heady thrills of SINK upstairs, come below for a subterranean afterparty where you will bear witness to plants on a rare night out as they sprout, propagate and spawn amidst a multi-sensorial performance by Kelping.

This immersive and hands-on installation lets you cross-pollinate with other organisms in the lower depths of Arts House. Experience the sounds of photosynthesizers, flower choirs and playable frozen compost sculptures as performers unfurl and push towards the surface. Lift yourself out of deep hibernation for a night of planning the mycorrhizal revolution over drinks on the dancefloor. Dress in florals, come in your gardening clothes or just wear something plain dirty.

Concept by Lichen Kelp. Installation by Lichen Kelp and Dylan Martorell.

Performance by Kelping (Dancer: Benjamin Hancock, Performance Artist: Jason Hood, Performance Chemistry: Lichen Kelp, Sound and Video: Dylan Martorell).
