Imagine a world where all you hold dear has been destroyed, where your friends become foes and your neighbours are your enemies. Could you risk everything for the sake of love?

Inspired by harrowing news reports from war-torn Yugoslavia and the true story of lovers divided by religion and community, Planted Seeds vividly portrays the brutality of a war waged within a country. Planted Seeds depicts a nation spiralling downwards into chaos - a world where lovers are ripped apart, where men breed by force, and where loyalties are tested to the limit.

Planted Seeds first toured the UK to critical and audience acclaim in 1999. Its focus on the human cost of conflict, rather than the politics of a specific war ensure it’s as relevant today as on its first performance. The intensely theatrical dance brings to life stories of individuals striving to survive in the shadow of war, powered by an emotive soundtrack of Gorecki, U2 and Sarajevan star, Goran Bregovic. Planted Seeds is set to become a classic contemporary dance work.
