Performance - Distillation
Distillation: A Luke Casserly, Solas Nua and Abbey Theatre production
Written and performed by Luke Casserly
A performative journey that takes you to the Irish bog landscape through scent.
Distillation is a response to the recent cessation of the peat harvesting industry in Ireland. Over the past year, Luke Casserly has collaborated with renowned perfume maker Joan Woods to create a unique distillation of the Midlands bog - the place where he grew up - as the starting point for an olfactory encounter that looks at our human relationship to place.
Dedicated to the future of our broken landscapes - in the hope that by listening to them, we might be able to better understand them.
