Over two days this August, six performances of the simultaneously intimate and expansive ‘Distillation’ will take place at Rothe House.
Multidisciplinary performance maker, Luke Casserly, grew up beside a bog in Co Longford, and formative experience – together with the end of the peat harvesting industry in Ireland – inspired this highly original performance.
Audiences can expect to be taken on a journey deep into the Irish bog landscape.
Seated around table laden with peat, twigs, and moss, those attending can explore the feel and smell of a Midlands bog from multiple perspectives.
Casserly collaborated with renowned perfume maker, Joan Woods, to create a unique distillation of the bog as the starting point for an encounter which looks at our relationship to place.
‘Distillation’ is a multi-sensory experience that redefines immersive theatre.
Dates: August 10th & 11th
