Abstract

Weathering is a work of film, dance, poetry, music & song by director and choreographer Mary Wycherley in collaboration with writer Jools Gilson, singer Ceara Conway and composer Jürgen Simpson.

Conceived together with cinematographer Raja Nundlall as a multiscreen work, Weathering immerses the audience in the work’s point of departure – the striking and poignant landscape of The Gearagh / An Gaorthadh in County Cork – an 11,000 year-old submerged glacial Irish woodland. This last surviving full oak forest in Western Europe was felled for the building of electrical dams in the 1950s and within Weathering it acts as a bridge to the prehistoric age, asking us to reflect on how ancient places and natural environments infuse our current relationship to the natural world.
