The Drummer
Fringe Festival Hub: Rose Bishop
A warm and thought-provoking new theatre work about climate collapse with an immersive live score. A solitary performer constructs an intricate sonic architecture tracking planetary shifts, transforming environmental grief into rhythmic defiance.
A town that won’t stop flooding but doesn’t want to talk about why. A crumbling house full of silt-stained memories. A drummer who’s trying to figure out what failure means, and if this is it.
This solo theatre piece about the slow creep of climate collapse and the people who feel it first features actor Doug Lyons (Netflix’s Rostered On), with a moody and beautiful live score from marumaru.
