Step inside the body and find yourself transported into a psychedelic wonderland of inflatable organs, whimsical floating cells, mesmerising soundscapes, larger-than-life puppets and interactive original film. But don’t be fooled. Entrancing as this body may be, it is facing a major threat.

Combining dance, film, audio, puppetry, performance art, installation-art, storytelling and more, The War Inside seeks to shine a light on hidden illness and create a playful and cathartic space to make the invisible, visible.

The War Inside debuted at The Albany in 2023 and is now being reimagined into an immersive family musical (5yr+) debuting at Southbank Centre 2025.
