Bogs have always captured the human imagination, inspiring both fear and fiction. Between the Ears wades into this treacherous netherworld in a search for the lost and found.

These liminal spaces have a unique and troubling consistency: neither absolutely water, nor absolutely earth, but a potentially dangerous mix between the two. On an abstract level, their slippery nature makes them difficult to categorise and unsettles us. On practical level, contact with these elements of nature can leave us feeling tainted or contaminated. They also preserve secrets from the past in the form of the ancient bog people whilst creating life through crucial ecosystems.

Is it this ambiguity that keeps us going back for more? We squelch our way through in the hope we can untangle their contradictory nature before getting swallowed up.

Featuring Hetta Howes, Jim Perrin, Mark Daniels, Karin Sanders, Neil McCarthy and the poetry of Seamus Heaney
