black water

When we first encounter Hai, “in the midnight of his childhood and a lifetime from first light,” he perches atop the King Philip’s Bridge, being pelted by rain, “as black water churned like chemically softened granite below.”

Inky black water surrounds him as a blinding light focuses on his body, making his pale skin glow like a marble statue.

Mr Traucki worked with Britton when filming croc horror film Black Water in 2008, as well as its 2019 sequel.

Still, I caught sight of the light from row after row of portholes rippling yellow across black water before the marble went dark.

“Ash” continues the exploration of ecological themes that Jelinek has addressed, often with alarm, in much of her recent work, including her 2013 “stage essay” “rein GOLD,” which brings together Wagner and environmentalism, as well as her plays “Black Water” and “Sun/Air,” with which “Ash” constitutes a loose climate trilogy.
