Charlotte Spencer Projects – Is this a Waste Land

About the Show

Set on an empty plot of land on the edge of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, moments away from Sadler’s Wells’ fourth London venue opening in 2023, Is this a Waste Land? invites audiences to re-imagine the value of their landscape, homes and communities. As day dips towards night, headphones and instructions are offered amidst a constantly shifting soundscape. Many worlds are created, destroyed and re-purposed in a generous playground built by everyone. Charlotte Spencer Projects work in unusual spaces to open up new forms of conversation. Audience members are invited to enter their intelligent and transformative world. Following the past year of separation and isolation, Is this a Waste Land? explores ways of being together again.
