Container
written and directed by Alan Fielden
I've been a performer on various iterations of Container with my long term collaborator Alan Fielden, who writes and directs the piece.
Container is a multi-vocal performance exploring the violence and tenderness of living through catastrophe. Drawing influence from Robert Ashley’s television operas, Container makes use of overlapping choral narratives and live music to explore alternative treatments of text, voice, and storytelling.
We are currently fundraising to finish developing Container. We hope to present the full work in 2024 and tour it afterwards. For enquiries please contact Alan Fielden: a.d.fielden [at] gmail.com.
