About Allineate
A Mist of Midges is a 60-minute interactive, workshop-based children's show from Allineate at Drummond Room, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. The show explores the story of Highland and Lowland midges in Scotland — their interactions with local communities, their relationships with humans in warm weather seasons, how they cope with the pressures of climate change, and how artificial intelligence tools are being used to offer hope for future species growth. Parents participate alongside children to create the story together. Suitable for ages 3+. Tickets £10.
Why see this show?
