SCORCHED EARTH
A murder, an interrogation, and a clouded world of fantasy and fear. Luke Murphy’s Scorched Earth is part crime-drama, part thriller that weaves a tapestry of story, striking visuals, and visceral movement. Murphy blurs the lines of dance and theatre and asks: What right do we have to the land beneath our feet? And what are we willing to do to keep it?
