Behold! A council of leeches, a mystic hermit, a Victorian inventor, an economics conference, a dark and dripping cave.
Uncovering a mysterious series of visions and omens, Ways of Knowing delves into the ways we predict and prophesy the future. Amidst an intricate system of choreography, found text and live sound, Emergency Chorus wield science and magic to reckon with our precarious present and enter into the unknown.
Winner of the Untapped Award, Ways of Knowing follows Emergency Chorus’s previous acclaimed shows Landscape (1989) and Celebration.
Ways of Knowing was first performed at Camden People’s Theatre in November 2023. It was then produced by New Diorama Theatre and opened at Underbelly at the Edinburgh Fringe on 31 July 2025.
