What exists in the ‘thin places’ where the distance between the living and the non-living is blurred?
A symphony of stories resound from the land…
Transcending narrative, stories seep from the earth’s sediments, affirming the unsettling feeling of a presence existing where logically it should not. Five shapeshifting figures navigate their arrival. Evoking a compelling cycle of the Seasons. Spring/Beginning: rebirth and resilience. Summer/Freedom: memory and desire. Autumn/Resistance: trespass and dispossession. Winter/Survival: journeying and hope. This Is The Land could not be more relevant to the issues of our times – ecological crisis, social inequality, and political repression of dissenting voices – whilst raising these in a highly original way.
This Is The Land’s stripped-back abstract-expressionist style is highly visual, visceral, and physical. The performance resists narrative through its ‘mash-up’ style of fragmentary images, compelling movement and dance, atmospheric soundtrack and live-vocal looping.
