‘The Woods’ is a performance project currently on at mac, created by Jane Packman Company and developed locally at Highbury Park and mac.
It’s been on for a few weeks already, and has attracted over 4000 visitors so far, with a free installation exhibition open throughout the day, along with a performance which tuns until 27 February.
The installation allows visitors to explore the sensory space of The Woods, influenced by woodland and the architecture of the gallery. With its provocative nature, the space offers space to invert or project your own narratives or scenarios.
Influenced by an autumn spent under the trees, nature writing and personal stories of letting go, this brave and moving performance tells a story of loss and transformation.
The Woods is intense and poetic – using narrative and gentle audience engagement to create an immersive experience which takes you deep into the richly textured world of the woods and the imagination.
Performances run daily until 27 February, tickets can be booked online via mac’s website.
Take a look at the trailer, filmed by Chris Keenen.
