Hares on the Mountain
Moving image and series of live performances.
Hares on the Mountain connects the site-specific history of the Cabrach, an upland area on the northernmost fringe of the Cairngorms, with Scottish mythology and folklore. Through the disintegration of the folksong Hares on the Mountain, the performance offers opportunity to reclaim natural landscapes for all life forms, healing relationships with ourselves and other species in the process.
