This performance was initially developed for theatre and was reworked to be performed on location at the Oerol festival. The light design included elements of the location in the dramaturgy of the piece, creating a sense of isolation and emphasising the long journey the central character travels to return home. I used the surrounding water to create reflective pools, a mirror for both the characters.
