Power station

In rehearsal last week we said the heater was a bus. Then it became a car. Today it becomes a power station. In this child play landscape where ladders are mountains and microphones are guns. We talk about how people we know used to say power stations are cloud machines. And how we use a fire extinguisher as a smoke machine which turns Tim into a cloud so it’s a sort of a cloud machine too. Mole says it’s an important moment. Clouds and smoke are the same thing. Or they look like the same thing. Tim and Mole talk about pyroclastic flows and smoke and ash and steam and bombs. We argue about how to spell pyroclastic. Tim says with an a. I say with an o. We still don’t know.
