This dance theatre piece was created by Claire Henderson Davis and Fraser Paterson with a script by Malcolm Guite and soundtrack by Gary Lloyd.
Performed by Claire Henderson Davis and Ian Bysh.

Two children worried about climate change ask St Francis and St Clare for help inspiring people to address our environmental emergency and save the planet. This is the story which follows, imagining a contemporary Francis and Clare, coming to terms with the need to leave their existing lives and join the movement for change. It narrates a growing friendship between Clare, a symbol of the earth herself, wounded and desecrated, and Francis, who is first disturbed by Clare’s arrival before being ultimately transformed through their relationship.

Being performed as part of the Our Journey to Sustainability exhibition at Chester Cathedral. Following the event there will be a Q&A.
