Longford: Carn Clonhugh & Good Day To You

Today we're in County Longford for a little wander up Carn Clonhugh (Corn Hill), and to have a relaxed chat in the sun with the lovely Luke Casserly.Luke is a multidisciplinary performance maker from Longford. His work weaves together ecological research, autobiography, sound art, and site, as a way of carving out space for new possibilities to emerge between live performance and physical landscape. To date, his projects have brought audiences through city streets, back gardens, train stations, beaches, and a bog in the Irish midlands. His most recent project 'Distillation' premiered as part of Dublin Theatre Festival in 2023, and has toured extensively throughout Ireland, the US, and Canada since then.You can find out more about Luke's work via his website. He will be presenting a work-in-development of a new performance project called 16 Longfords as part of Dublin Theatre Festival 2025.
