UK PREMIERE
FC Bergman's latest piece reckons with what is lost when our bond to the earth fades.
Birth, life and death converge at the heart of this visually spectacular performance, as theatre collective FC Bergman seeks the truth about our place in the wider world. Their latest wordless piece blends stunning imagery, movement and music to explore our connection with the land we inhabit.
Journeying from ancient times to the present, the play cycles through the seasons and fundamental human rites of passage. The ingenious set design exposes the actors to all the elements – from fire to water. The magnificent visuals nod to famous pastoral paintings, all told with FC Bergman's signature humour and pathos.
Accompanied by on-stage musicians playing original music inspired by Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, the performance transports you to a time when the land was everything, and our existence was inseparable from it.
