Contagion, a new dance piece by Shobana Jeyasingh Dance, is one of the first events to be added to the Manchester Science Festival 2018 programme in October.
Performed in the setting of IWM North, this work will explore viral infection, reflecting on the First World War and the devastating effect of pandemics.
Parallel warfare (man vs man and virus vs man) will influence the choreography and design.
