GOAT ATE  ITS LEGS

How to building weather in theatre? Not psychology. Not Backstory. With light, haze, airflow and temperature, so mood is felt as a shared field. We work with a simple premise: sometimes the body knows before the words arrive. The room is tuned to make that gap tangible and safe to inhabit.

Three levers cycle through the score: silence (breath, fabric, friction), darkness ( visual vacuum that lifts other senses), and ephemeral traces (beams in haze, quick reflections, dust in a shaft of light). Alternating deprivation and release heightens sensitivity; atmosphere leads, bodies and attention follow.

Performance stands next to this climate through real action and time: binding and counter-pull, loss of balance, friction and temperature. Everyday tasks are stretched—undressing, shaving, holding the gaze—until attention dips, returns and resets. The aim isn’t spectacle, but to re-train how we attend.

A parallel image-track runs through the work: sheep, divinity, punishment. It asks who is centred, who is kept as background, and what “fitting” costs when norms orient the body. The invitation is simple: notice that performers and spectators share the same air and pressure—and that this is already a story.
