Water

'All the thrill of a rapid ride at the fun-fair.'
**** The Guardian on Faster

Imagine you looked out of the window one morning and saw jellyfish. No birds fluttering, just a sky full of gelatinous animals. Every now and then a shark or tuna glides noiselessly past. And everywhere… water.

This autumn, the Lyric’s Artistic Director David Farr joins forces with the groundbreaking Filter (Caucasian Chalk Circle, Faster) and Radiohead live performance Creative Designer Andi Watson to create a visually extraordinary theatrical experience.

With the strange beauty of a dream, Water intercuts between powerful individual stories, exploring man's desire to push himself to the limits in a world of increasingly unstable climate change.

Filter is renowned for its distinctive theatrical style that exposes the workings of a production – video is mixed onstage and sound is performed live by a musician and the performers to create a unique, ‘live chemistry’ experience for audiences.

Not recommended for under 14s

Proudly supported by Chula - the real flavour of India
