A three-part accidental trilogy of performances about high art and celebrity and our increasingly tenuous grip on reality in the 21st century. Kourtney / Kim / Khloe Kardashian
BILINGUAL EDITION - EDICIÓN BILINGÃœE 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 Ãntimos, 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 sà misma vuelve a concebirse como una especie de utopÃa artificial, un paraÃso 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 melancolÃa, y de cómo parece que podrÃamos 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 compañÃa de arte en vivo y teatro experimental que crea experiencias escénicas e Ãntimos 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’  - The Guardian
Racing across the savage inner-landscape of the human mind, two unlikely (anti)heroes pursue a nightmare vision of freedom through spiralling episodes of intense sensuality and phantasmagoric violence. Psychodrama is a gooey, drippy dream of a show, a pop-cultural exorcism, a runaway train riding a burnt synapse through the centre of your skull. A celebration of the corrosive power of storytelling that asks who are all those voices inside your head? and how did they get there? and if you could silence those voices, would you? Psychodrama is a show created and performed by writer, performer and musician Christopher Brett Bailey and UK/Spanish experimental theatre group Sleepwalk Collective.
On a stage that might be a painting or a page torn from a book, award-winning live art and experimental theatre group Sleepwalk Collective present Domestica: a woozy, deadpan, and extensively-annotated dismantling of high art and classical posturing that asks where exactly we might be going in this ever-louder, ever-accelerating new century.
