Distillation is a multisensory performance that immerses audiences in the Irish bog landscape through scent, sound, and touch. Collaborating with perfumer Joan Woods, Casserly crafted a unique fragrance distilled from local botanicals, encapsulating the essence of the Midlands bogs. The project responds to the cessation of peat harvesting in Ireland, reflecting on the environmental and cultural implications of this shift. By engaging the senses, Distillation invites participants to contemplate their relationship with the environment and the impact of industrial practices on natural landscapes.
