An Absurdist Archive of Isolation: A full body workout radio play

  • An Absurdist Archive of Isolation: a full body workout radio play - image design by Dartsia Liuba

Listen. Read. Do.

Become immersed in this experiential and genre-blurring new work for solo audiences at home.

Your movement, electronic music and contemporary storytelling unfold, overlap and transform, creating a new imagining of the very place you are right now.

There is space to move with fury, to fall into the softness of cushions and to collapse into the folds of time. It is all as you choose.

An Absurdist Archive of Isolation: a full body workout radio play is one work in two forms: a work to listen to and a work to read, both to do.

The piece is part of They Gather, an international and interdisciplinary project creating ‘gatherings’ of people, action, dance, sound and music. Co-created and co-produced by Bridget Fiske (UK/AU) & Joseph Lau (UK/AU) with Stelios Manousakis (NL/GR) & Stephanie Pan (NL/US).
