Interface Inagh

A performative journey which takes you to the Irish bog landscape through scent. Distillation is a response to the cessation of the peat harvesting industry in Ireland. Luke Casserly recently 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 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 premiered as part of Dublin Theatre Festival 2023, shortly followed by a sold-out run in the Peacock Theatre in early 2024. The project has since toured extensively throughout Ireland, the US, and Canada with support from Culture Ireland. The project is co-produced by the Abbey Theatre and Solas Nua, commissioned by Solas Nua in Washington DC. Supported by Goethe-Institut Irland, with additional development support by IMMA, Druid FUEL, AXIS Ballymun, and Backstage Theatre’s Activate Residency programme. Funded through an Arts Council Theatre Project Award. This performance at Interface is in association with the Galway International Arts Festival.
