Description:
Playful and poetic, Fields (Extract) is a compelling performance that draws the audience into a textured landscape of stone, where patterns of dwelling are made and unmade, shaped by land, time and human hands. The episodic narrative of the performance offers snapshots of lives lived out amidst stony ground where duration expands to take in the enduring labour of ages past, present and perhaps yet to come. Layered with detail and played out to an intermittent sound score, images emerge of agricultural labouring, the toil of turning stony ground and defending territories.
