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.
Written and directed by Alan Fielden (JAMS), performed with Ben Kulvichit & Clara Potter-Sweet (Emergency Chorus), Nat Norland (Why This Sky), Jemima Yong (JAMS), and music/composition from Tim Cape (Bastard Assignments).
Supported by Arts Council England
Programmed by James Nash: "I’m interested in text-based work that exists outside of narrative and is more interested in form, texture and provides an experience for audiences – something we don’t see nearly enough. Container and its polyphonic text exactly fits that ideal."
"Hats off to the CPT for this fine show, well researched and coming from a place of great passion... Community theatre at its most effective."
