FLOOD
It’s 2030, the world’s oceans have become volatile, dangerous and unable to sustain life. 3 strangers meet on the high seas. A storm is coming.
'We've got these steps down to the beach and now you can notice they are slowly disappearing...they are having to add more sand onto the beaches'
FLOOD is a new, interactive outdoor spectacle, highlighting the health of the world’s ocean through the eyes of Britain’s coastal communities. Utilising circus, music and acrobatics, FLOOD takes you on an epic adventure to understand how our coastline and communities have become ‘seasick’. Standing under your own personalised sound umbrella, FLOOD will take you far beyond your front door and into the eye of the storm. FLOOD brings climate and Covid recovery into conversation through socially-engaged practice.
In 2022 Theatre Temoin delivered pilot activity across Tendring and Braintree in primary and secondary school settings and with family groups; offering weekly free activity for 6-8 weeks. We explored what climate change looks like locally and what we can do to help. Each workshop and experience will contribute towards a national conversation around the future of the world's oceans. FLOOD is ready for wet weather, are you?
FLOOD is being developed at 101 Outdoor Arts Creation Space, supported by Without Walls, SeaChange Arts, 1 Degree East.
FLOOD is a carbon-neutral show.
