Showbox: The scent seeps along all paths - ICB productions

Scent seeps along all paths focuses on the sense of smell, which is a big part of our memories and experiences. Using scents and smells in the performance creates a sensory experience that not only stimulates the imagination, but also explores how smells can evoke memories, emotions and moods. 

On stage we meet an actor, a dancer and a musician who share their memories and stories through text, dance, song and music where they explore scent and smell in interaction with each other and with the audience. 

The performance invites both children and adults to discover how the sense of smell influences our perception of the world around us, while building a bridge between fantasy and reality that can engage, create wonder and curiosity.
