A woman, left alone, in an alien landscape ever burning or washed away continues an unending dance of denial against the mysterious shadow of a country that will enter her with a love ancient and powerful enough to crumble even the fiercest resistance. Fire and ice battle to the inevitable conclusion in a world struggling to coexist with the old and powerful spirit of a land outside of European comprehension.
​
A choric journey of Gothic proportion, darkly beautiful, immense, rearing majestically but ultimately diving into depths of horror. The Drover's Wife Untold is a piece of theatre combining poetry, video and musical composition.
