Venture into a landscape of time at this awe-inspiring world premiere, as you journey with Crash Ensemble through historic Irish countryside to a vanished Mesolithic lake.TERRARIUM was commissioned in 2020 and written during Ann Cleare’s time as composer in residence with Crash, and created in collaboration with site-responsive artists Lay of the Land and videographer and director Laura Sheeran. Immersive and multi-layered, this exploration of the evolving geological strata of Ireland’s boglands transports you to one of the earliest sites of human activity in the country’s history at Lough Boora, Offaly—peeling back layers of memory and myth embedded within its fascinating, post-industrial terrain.
While this performance is not specifically designed toward individuals with sensory sensitivities, sensory packages will be available on request.
