The heat museum

a piece by james allen for dream pavilion

Curtains drawn, lawns burnt brown; a townscape is melting. In a record heatwave, a wandering mind waits for the rain. The Heat Museum is a sound and movement exploration into how we navigate emotional trauma and regain hope in the darkest moments of our lives.

The 40 minute sound and movement piece ran from the 5th-20th at ZOO Venues in the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe
