Soap, Performance, Richard Hoggart Building, London, UK, 2023
SOAP celebrates the spills and falls in the ordinary, the banal, and the interiority of sentiment. The opera takes dream logic as a last attempt to dig into the buried stuff of a person's psyche - all whilst getting ready for a dinner party.
The music and libretto see the collaboration of emerging artists working in SE London across visual, sound, and performance: Carmen Grey / Chris Owen / Eden McDowell / e.g. King / Julia Thompson / Just Ke (Zhang) / Mae Nicolaou / Margot Mickelsen / Michelle Man-Ching Tam / Molly Astley / Niamh Hannaford / Raheel Khan / Soo Hyun Lee.
