DISTILLATION by LUKE CASSERLY

A Solas Nua, Abbey Theatre, and Luke Casserly Production, in partnership with Eaton House.


A performative journey that takes you to the Irish bog landscape through scent.


Distillation is a response to the recent cessation of the peat harvesting industry in Ireland. Over the past year, Luke Casserly has 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.
