Melanie Wilson and Fuel present Landscape II by Melanie Wilson

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. As the landscape presses in on them, they draw upon the threads that connect them to survive.

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

Funded by Arts Council England and the Ernest Cook Trust. Supported by Warwick Arts Centre and Battersea Arts Centre. Developed as part of the Jerwood Residencies at Cove Park which are supported by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation.
