Details

Extraordinary, intense, complex and ultimately rewarding, Land Without Words asks the question - How can Art attempt to reflect, represent or respond to the ravages of war? A western painter and sculptor (in a compelling a performance by Lucy Ellinson) returns from a middle eastern conflict, shocked by her experiences and trying to create new work through Mark Rothko-like abstracts. Words and artists materials - paint, clay - become the tools of the play. The rhythms and textures of language are crystallized into vivid and sensuous visual imagery. A poetic text is witness both to the horrors of conflict and the need we all have to retell these stories through words and images. Contains brief nudity. Running time: 50mins
