The project was developed in collaboration with curator Natalija Paunić, and uses the material of water and the pool “as a support for dreams and new social experience.” Drawing from their research in the Peckham Experiment, and using reference, characters and stories to play with fact/fiction, bodies come together through choreography and communal humming of the song ‘Pull Marine.’

Creating a conversation through open script, collaboration and archival stories from the health centre, as well as floating sculptures and handmade costumes worn by the performers, the work taps into the way “our emotions are carried in the water of our bodies — our tears, sweat, blood, and moist breath.”

Performing alongside Collet and Stamatis were Alex P. Bickel, Emily Linard, Paola Napolitano and Jeremiah Olusola, and the event was filmed by Rosa Doornenbal and Teal Griffin.**

Lea Collet + Marios Stamatis’ Scenarios of the Pool: After Blue Interval performance was on at London’s Pioneer Health Centre on October 1, 2017.
