A multi-sensory performance that transports audiences to the Irish bog landscape through scent.
In Distillation, Luke Casserly has collaborated with renowned perfumer Joan Woods (Waters + Wild Organic Perfumery) to create a unique essence of the Midlands bog - the place where he grew up – as the starting point for an olfactory encounter exploring our relationship to place. Created in direct response to the cessation of Ireland’s peat harvesting industry, Distillation is dedicated to the future of our broken landscapes - in the hope that by listening to them, we might be able to better understand them.
The production premiered as part of Dublin Theatre Festival in 2023, and has since toured extensively across Ireland, the USA, and Canada, earning widespread critical acclaim.
A co-production by Abbey Theatre and Solas Nua, commissioned by Solas Nua. Supported by Goethe-Institut Irland, IMMA, Druid FUEL, AXIS Ballymun, and Backstage Theatre. Funded by an Arts Council Theatre Touring Award.
