A journey through the body as a living landscape, an ecosystem, constantly in flux

Using a borescope camera Freddie Wulf explores the close-up textures of body, water, and plant, creating a journey through a cosmic landscape.

passing by hairs erupting, droplets on the tiny leaves of moss, lips and throat like an underwater cave

Performed in a bathtub, and inspired by philosophies of vital materialism, the show addresses themes of wellbeing, embodiment, and self perception.

Fierce Says

Freddie has been developing this new show with Fierce for a few years through our Fierce Further commissioning programme. Come see what we've been cooking up. It's beautiful!!
This is a highly visual, and intriguing show performed in a bath tub. Microscopic cameras create illusions (or reveal truths?) that allow us to see the body as a landscape: not just in the universe, but part of it. Expect to cross mountains and oceans, from toes to nose.
