about

Octopus Story is a large-scale immersive audio-visual installation, theatre performance, community workshops and creative maker activities running through 2022 in Portsmouth on the south coast of the UK.

For three nights in Portsmouth Cathedral Octopuses and Other Sea Creatures will take you on an adventure of audio-visual magic and mystery. Join us on a journey undersea, experience the wonder of the ocean, explore its depths, and meet the Octopus who secretly sits at its hidden heart.

This dazzling performance will delight and intrigue you whilst telling the story of the ocean, how humans have impacted it and how it is impacting us.

The octopus has long been seen as a threat to seafarers, a monster, an alien species. But what if it is really our friend, a companion species? – If we listen carefully, what story will it tell us?

With the Octopus as your medicine-animal guide, you will connect with the wonder of the ocean, both as an other-world and an eco-system upon which all our terrestrial lives thoroughly rely.

Portsmouth has a symbiotic relationship with the sea and would not exist without it. Generations of local people owe their livelihoods to the ocean, having served in, or helped service the Royal Navy, fished in local waters, or worked in our tourism industry.

Octopuses and Other Sea Creatures provides an opportunity for you to revisit your relationship with the city’s waterfront at a time when the ocean’s power threatens the city, while at the same time the harm we have done to it threatens the planet.
