Body Odyssey
An immersive musical adaptation of 'The War Inside' for all ages.
Immersive musical show
Following the success of the four-part immersive project ‘The War Inside’, we now are creating Body Odyssey a playful, musical and educational immersive family show set inside the body.
​
​Fusing participation, performance, giant puppets, music and science, this will be a unique and pioneering children’s show that will ignite imaginations, quench wonderlust and create a one-of-a-kind interactive experience to learn about what’s beneath the surface.
​
Body Odyssey tells the story of Marnie, whose body is about to face the greatest challenge of her life. On arrival the audience transform into blood cells and go on a rip-roating journey across the body to keep Marnie safe.
​
Body Odyssey had sold out debut performances at Southbank Centre Jan '25 and will return May '25.
