Fields of Performance: Plump
Plump is an original performance film that examines folk tales through a queer perspective as part of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's Fields of Performance festival.
About Fields of Performance: Plump
Ground-breaking new theatre as part of a brand new festival from final year Contemporary Performance Practice students at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Fields of Performance is a dynamic collection of works, ranging from intimate solos to collaborative pieces, in studio theatre settings, online and in public spaces around Glasgow. Experience the freshness and originality of a new wave of artists, ready to redefine the boundaries of performance on their own terms.
Dale Williamson
Do you feel it watching you?
Beyond the lake, beyond the wood, beyond the axeman's pasture.
It never felt so comforting. Open your mouth, wider, wider still. Let it sing into your oesophagus, feel it in your gut. The scum, does it feel warm?
Swallow it.
Scabbed skin.
Still flesh.
Plump is an original performance film that examines folk tales through a queer perspective. This work forges a new mythology centred around themes of love, lust, violence and anguish. This multidisciplinary work harnesses the power of storytelling, mixed media and musical elements in an intimate setting.
This show contains references to sexual content/violence and is recommended for an audience 18+.
