Tempestries

With strands of choreography, performance, live green screen interaction, creative writing, shadow play and projection, Tempestries explores how art practice can ask questions differently in our time of climate emergency. With the Irish peatland bog as theme and metaphor, Tempestries evokes the story of a woman lost in the bog in the 7th century, and discovered in 2005 during mechanical peat digging. She is found with her clothes preserved, and we use this science to embody glimpses into her life and what her story tells us about femininity, ecology, power and the warming of the world.
