Longford's Luke Casserly hoping for success with 'Distillation' at the Goethe Institute

Luke Casserly, son of Con and Yvonne Casserly, Clonfower, is a multidisciplinary performance maker and as a young man has received many accolades all from his extremely creative and thought-provoking work. 

In his latest creation Luke has returned to his native Clonfower and more particularly the surrounding boglands and made a reconnection especially at a time when Bord na Mona work is grinding to a halt.

Luke is creating a performative journey of where he grew up and he is encouraging everyone to transform themselves back to their own particular community and recognise the relevance of their own place.Luke along with perfume maker Joan Woods from Cork created a scent refined from the bog and her craft as a perfume maker for the attendance at the Dublin Theatre Festival. Also, in collaboration with Sculptor Ger Clancy with his specially designed table that will seat the audience the attendances will be limited to just 25. There is no doubting that from the clip on the Irish Times App, for those attending, it will be very special and unique performances.  

Distillation with The Abbey Theatre and Solas Nua (USA) will take place in the Goethe Institute in Merrion Square East just beside the junction of Mount Street from October 6 - 14. Bookings can be made at www. https:// dublintheatrefestival.ie/ event/distillation/#0 We are certain that Distillation will be an outstanding success for Luke and we wish the very best of luck for a successful run.
