Presented in association with Perth Festival.
THEATRE THAT MAKES A SPLASH.
Set at the glorious Bold Park Aquatic Centre, The Pool invites you to immerse yourself in an intimate experience as you eavesdrop on the conversations of ordinary everyday people through a personal headset.
A mother tries to connect with her adult daughter.
A man continues his rehabilitation to strengthen his knee.
Two teenagers find privacy in a lie to their parents.
Bombies in the deep end while the lifeguard isn’t looking, water aerobics classes, hot chips and choc milk, The Pool is an exploration of life as we know it and a celebration of our public spaces that create community. It is a delightfully voyeuristic experience, raw and relatable in every way.
We invite you to join the cast and volunteers in the pool for a ten-minute Aqua Fit class after the show. Ticket holders will be invited to register their interest in the class closer to the performance date.
