FUEL is a powerful exploration of the impact of toxic relationships and coercive control on young individuals and the importance of personal empowerment and resilience.
The show follows Seb and Ivy, who are in a new relationship and are crazy about each other. Theyβre always together. However, what begins as bright young love deteriorates into obsession, control, need and destruction, as we witness their relationship unfold over a 12-month period.
FUEL is a realistic portrayal of abusive dynamics, coupled with its depiction of recovery and self-assertion, provides a nuanced perspective on relationship challenges that some young people face. It weaves together cinematic AV, dynamic sound design, political satire, and psychological drama, carried by the skill and versatility of itβs two performers, who play in excess of 20 characters.
