Are you ready to dive in? 

Swimming Home is Silvia Mercuriali's latest audio theatre piece, leading participants through a private meditation, all the way to the bottom of a deep pool.

You will be immersed in an aquatic and sonic world in which the ordinary becomes fictional and your familiar surroundings take on a new poetic meaning. Written following interviews with swimmers, swimming coaches and water lovers from all over the UK, the piece gently suggests a new look at the ritual of bathing.


YOU WILL NEED

A swimsuit, swimming goggles and a big towel.

Make sure your phone is fully charged and that you have a good internet connection.

The piece is to be experienced with headphones in your own bathroom (wireless headphones are preferable but not necessary).

Breathe. Dive in.

“Swimming Home plays with the gap between imagination and reality and urges you to let go and float away. When you are finally allowed to submerge and dip your head under the water, it is oddly exhilarating.” ✭✭✭✭ The Stage

“Silvia Mercuriali created the future. Just do it. Extraordinary.” Audience member
