Project Brief

Liquid History is a site-specific performance that unfolds along the foreshore of the River Thames at low tide, using the river's exposed artifacts as both set and inspiration. The piece blends physical theatre, spoken word, and live music to explore themes of migration, trade, and time. The audience is led on a walking tour from Tower Bridge to the Southbank, stopping at five stations where performers embody historical and contemporary Londoners. The performance incorporates found objects from the river, interactive soundscapes, and projections on nearby architecture. It's a unique fusion of promenade theatre and environmental art, celebrating London's identity as a river city. The project is designed to be captured in a high-quality short film that extends its reach beyond the live audience.
