“Be like water, my friend” – Bruce Lee

​

Make Me Wet is a series of performed explorations created to challenge and probe the ways human beings use and abuse water.

It’s a reaction to spitting in the street. To disengagement. To drought, privatisation, and the 70% of each human being. With provocations from all areas of water’s political landscape we hope to reinvigorate the audience’s relationship with the element in a 30 minute slip and slide.

​

Bringing together a mermaid, multicultural corporation CEOs, and pair of misplaced poncho-people, the piece is as much a poignant exploration of human interconnectivity as it is an ode to water sports of the wrong kind.

Boldly combining elements of political commentary with the absurd and ridiculous Make Me Wet is the debut piece of performance art pseudo-sibling duo Miau Vartiainen and Rob Hesp.
