A Contagion of Transformation
This project represents a new strain of social research – one that refuses to be quarantined in ivory towers. By embodying a microorganism through drag performance, the tour challenges audiences to think differently about bodies, boundaries and belonging in urban spaces.
The 90-minute experience promises regular stops at points of intrigue, where scientific fact meets theatrical fiction, and where Liverpool’s past contaminations illuminate present-day struggles for reclaiming connected waterways, healthy communities and environmental justice.
Symptoms Include: Uncontrollable Urge to Question Everything
Audiences should prepare for side effects including – heightened awareness of water politics, sudden appreciation for drag as a research method, and an infectious desire to see their city through microbial eyes. Warning: this tour may cause permanent changes to how you live through Liverpool’s streets, contagion, waterways and the invisible networks that connect us all.
The tour’s unique blend of social research and unapologetic performance creates something genuinely unprecedented – a theatrical vaccination against ignorance that’s as entertaining as it is enlivening.
Catch It While You Can
With only four performances, tickets are spreading faster than… well, you get the idea. This is Liverpool’s chance to experience the culmination of a year-long transdisciplinary project that proves cross-contamination can be both intellectually empowering and irresistibly entertaining.
Don’t let this wave of transformative potential pass you by. Some outbreaks can change everything!
