LAND WITHOUT WORDS

by Dea Loher
FEST! - A season of Edinburgh previews
30 July - 31 July 2009


War meets art in this intimate parable. Lucy Ellinson performs this one woman show, the first full UK production of a work by Dea Loher. She takes the role of a painter seeking the perfect artistic image, until experiencing the horrors of war leads her to reconsider the value of any artistic activity, as well as the awkward relationship of Western preconceptions with current Eastern war zones. In the end she can only ask: what about joy? Land Without Words is a work of poetic realism, drawing on interviews with the abstract expressionist Mark Rothko, and Loher's own reflections about her experiences of Kabul.

Performance Times: Thursday - 7:30pm, Friday - 9:15pm

Tickets: £10 / £8
