Breathe is launching Aug 2022

Breathe is a theatre show about the ways trees work, and finding space in a busy community. Through the use of intricate puppetry and live camera work our audience is immersed in a story that captures the imagination of the whole family. Half a String are bringing their signature style of stunning visuals
and captivating storytelling, and combining folk songs from Avi Simmons, and thumping D&B from Suitman Jungle to create a truly unique experience.

The story follows a “Seedling” puppet as they hatch from an acorn and experience a hectic forest to learn about the rhythms, weird wonderful plants and fungi, and find a connection in this strange new world. Alongside the theatre show Half a String are publishing a fully illustrated story book.


Find the epic in the tiny from the perspective of an acorn.


​An extraordinary journey through a busy forest. Experience a story told from the perspective of an acorn; the hectic forest floor, dense thrumming underworlds, and dazzling heights of icy branches. Discover bizarre larger than life fungi, connecting creaking tree roots, and majestic guardians watching over a delicate cycle. Join three storytellers as they lead you through an enchanting experience like no other.

​Breathe explores the inner workings of trees, all beautifully realised through a combination of puppetry, detailed sets, and live camera work. Underscored through a truly unique blend of thumping D&B and live ethereal folk songs. Find the epic in the tiny in this celebration of trees, nature, and finding space in a buzzing community. For ages 5+.
