Overview

BILINGUAL EDITION - EDICIÓN BILINGÜE

ENGLISH

Across a series of imagined swimming pools, arranged like the ascending levels of a retro video game, a sequence of intimate monologues are gently teased out, all balanced on a knife-edge between revelation and delirium. As our protagonists whisper their confessions through the voices and bodies of the four women onstage, the swimming pool itself is re-conceived as a kind of manmade utopia, a paradise in miniature, a site of ecstatic miracles and otherworldly beauty. 

Wrestling fearlessly with the particular demons of the early 21st century – rampant capitalism, toxic masculinity, internet boredom – Swimming Pools is a psychedelic new show about desire and melancholia and how we might live together in the blinding brightness of the future. 

This special bilingual, parallel-text edition of Swimming Pools also includes the full text for the unperformed work Paradise.

Sleepwalk Collective is an award-winning live-art and experimental- theatre group creating fragile, nocturnal performances between the UK and Spain. Their shows include As The Flames Rose We Danced To The Sirens, The Sirens, Domestica, Kourtney Kardashian, and Psychodrama (with Christopher Brett Bailey).

‘Few theatre-makers capture the vertiginous thrill and terror of contemporary existence as captivatingly as Sleepwalk Collective’

 - The Guardian

 

ESPAÑOL

A través de una serie de piscinas imaginadas, dispuestas como los niveles ascendentes de un videojuego retro, se desborda una secuencia de monólogos íntimos, todos ellos equilibrados sobre el fino filo que separa revelación de delirio. A medida que nuestras protagonistas susurran y ejecutan sus confesiones a través de las voces y cuerpos de las cuatro mujeres que habitan la escena, la piscina en sí misma vuelve a concebirse como una especie de utopía artificial, un paraíso en miniatura, un lugar para milagros extáticos y belleza comprometedora.

Luchando intrépidamente con los demonios particulares de principios del siglo XXI: capitalismo desenfrenado, masculinidad tóxica, aburrimiento cibernético y fatiga emocional, Swimming Pools es una nueva pieza psicodélica acerca del deseo y la melancolía, y de cómo parece que podríamos vivir juntos bajo el brillo cegador del futuro.

Esta edición especial bilingüe de Swimming Pools incluye también el texto completo de la pieza no estrenada Paradise.

Sleepwalk Collective es una galardonada compañía de arte en vivo y teatro experimental que crea experiencias escénicas e íntimos entre el Reino Unido y España. Sus piezas para teatros incluyen As The Flames Rose We Danced To The Sirens, The Sirens, Domestica, Kourtney Kardashian, y Psychodrama (con Christopher Brett Bailey).

‘Pocos creadores escénicos capturan la emoción vertiginosa y el terror existencial contemporáneo de forma tan cautivadora como Sleepwalk Collective’
