LANDLOCKED

Created in collaboration with Bangkok City Ballet and DD Flection, LANDLOCKED was first performed in Thailand in 2020 during Jay Carlon’s creative residency at Bangkok 1899. As a site-adaptable work, LANDLOCKED is meant to position itself in direct relationship to the community in which it is performed. Sets and props used in Thailand were designed and built by Space Saloon, a nomadic design laboratory. Everything is created with recycled/upcycled materials and craft objects from locals.

LANDLOCKED takes inspiration from Jay’s multi-cultural experience as a first generation youth growing up in urban America, and speaks to the inherent trauma of being third culture in a migrant family.
