And...Breathe

Cecilly Brook - 29th March 2025, 2-8pm

Illuminated Sculpture At Night

Join us at Cecilly Brook in Cheadle for a wide array of activity!

And…Breathe is a new sound and light installation from Pif-Paf exploring breath, breathing alone and breathing together. A tactile piece that encourages interaction and mindfulness.

Stay a while and enjoy this fully immersive experience, use your breath to interact with the lights and sound.

Breath is such a powerful tool for us all to find security and calm both in the moment and in our lives.
