Show Description
Young and their collaborators transform a swimming pool into a unique immersive environment for BODIES. An interactive performance that explores the essential character of water, its universal presence, and the importance of collective action in achieving climate justice.
Guided by Young, we gather in the pool for a sensory experience – to float, discover, and move in synchronisation. Here, the dynamics of individual and collective energies play out as powerful forces of creation and renewal as well as destruction and devastation.
With our very existence threatened by climate emergency, BODIES holds space for us to navigate the entangled and complex relationship we have with the planet, and therefore the urgent responsibilities we have to each other.
