The Clod Ensemble - Under Glass

The Clod Ensemble

Work:: The Clod Ensemble (S1651950389)

The Clod Ensemble makes compelling work through the alchemy of theatre, music and physical comedy.

Production:: Under Glass (T1745105721)

Under Glass is a performance which takes place within a collection of glass jars, cabinets and test tubes. Each vessel contains its own human specimen: a woman in a jam jar, a couple negotiating their space in a bed-like Petri dish, a shy ‘wallflower’ pinned behind a glass panel, a man clockwatching in his office, a woman on the phone in a test tube observing the disintegration of village life. The production integrates visual imagery and choreography with a new text by TS Eliot Award-winning poet Alice Oswald, and an original score. At once museum exhibit, gallery and medical laboratory, Under Glass lifts characters out of the hurly burly of everyday life and frames their moments of solitude; examining human beings attempting with varying success to live within their limits. Under Glass can be shown individually, in clusters, or as a whole series.
