Landscape (1989)
Landscape (1989) is one of the performances for theatres I produced with Emergency Chorus Theatre. Created over 2018, it toured across 2019 and created a filmed version for view in 2020.
A razed forest and two people journeying towards the horizon. One foot in front of the other.
On a bare stage, two people perform choreography inspired by the movements of foragers, conjure a forest fire, and cook in silence. At the end, and alone at last, two mushrooms sing to the audience.
