A performative journey which takes you to the Irish bog landscape through scent, created in response to the cessation of Ireland’s peat harvesting industry. Luke Casserly collaborated with renowned perfume maker Joan Woods to create a unique distillation of the Midlands bog as the starting point for an olfactory encounter which 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.
Distillation is a multisensory performance featuring original text, perfume, video design and sculpture. The audience is seated around a large sculptural table, which is composed of sustainably-sourced peat from the Irish Midlands, with gentle invitations to hold organic materials and participate throughout
This ode to our landscape will give you a new perspective on Ireland’s bogs. All of the senses are engaged: not just sight and hearing but also touch, smell and even taste ★★★★★ - THE IRISH TIMES
