Melanie Wilson and Fuel present: Landscape II

by Melanie Wilson

Nominated for best sound design and best visual design at Dublin Fringe Festival 2013

Three women separated by a hundred years start a conversation across time. Their parallel experiences reveal shared imaginings of identity and escape, as menacing undercurrents steal into their solitary and reflective lives. Their letters, diaries, drawings and photographs expose a series of threatening episodes and unsettling occurrences. As the landscape presses in on them, they draw upon the threads that connect them to survive.

Landscape II is a compelling solo work by Melanie Wilson. This bold hybrid of performance, film and sound art creates a highly contemporary and minutely observed piece of new theatre.

‘Wilson’s language is dazzling…and the crisp, immersive sound design is astonishing’ (on Autobiographer)

‘A remarkable poet in word and sound’
