Distillation
A journey through the Irish bog landscape through scent and touch.
Thu. June 20, 2024 - Sun. June 23, 2024 | Campbell House Museum
Home > CIF Events >
Event Overview
"Distillation" is an immersive experience that delves into the themes of climate change, environmental degradation, and humanity's response to these pressing issues using the Irish bog as its setting. This innovative work integrates storytelling with sensory elements to create an unforgettable performance.
The audience will sit around a table and be guided through this unique story.
Distillation is about the past, present and dedicated to the future of our broken landscapes – in the hope that by listening to them, we might be able to better understand them.
Performances will be on: June 20th - 5:30 pm / 8 pm June 21st - 5:30 pm / 8 pm June 22nd - 5:30 pm / 8 pm June 23rd - 5:30 pm / 8 pm"Distillation takes audiences on a theatrical journey that continues after the curtain drops. Luke Casserly’s beautiful one-man show gives the land agency and audiences hope.”
