THIRST TRAP
Trade in the rubber duck for something much more interesting: a sound-led theatre experience, delivered to your home, for you to experience in your own bath.
Part narrative and part meditation, THIRST TRAP is a 30-minute sound piece for you to listen to in the bath, along with an experience pack of resources to change your environment, available within London.
THIRST TRAP delves into the possible outcomes of rising temperatures and the correlation between social and climate justice.
A sister piece to the swimming pool performance experience BODIES, THIRST TRAP continues Ray Young’s investigation into water as a key character in our collective conversations on climate justice.
Originally commissioned by Fuel, with the support of Help Musicians, the Sura Medura Residency, and LIFT. A collaboration between Ray Young, composer Alicia Jane Turner and dramaturg Season Butler.
