LANDED
intimate stories of love
Love from the briefest remembered passion to cross-continental journeys with lifelong repercussions.
Love in all its simple magnificent unpredictable messiness.
Working with communities across Britain, LANDED foregrounds the beautiful stories of elders, putting the wisdom and experience they bring centre stage. It’s a piece which values elders by placing them at the centre of a contemporary work.
LANDED is a project about people. About the people who make a place. It’s a very partial portrait: dependent on who we meet, who has time to talk, who is interested in spending time with us.
Join Two Destination Language in an intimate encounter which reveals what love has left, as we glimpse what might have been, once was and is forever gone. Working with performers’ memories of the loves that passed them by, the loves that endured and those that still burn today, each experience is a glimpse of hope and the extraordinary in human nature.
LANDED is a performance for one audience member at a time, in a specially constructed chamber. The experience lasts about 10-15 minutes, and there’s an installation to explore afterwards.

How true were those words to my life and what has happened to me, and how I have met someone new and look forward to a new future!
audience member, Winchester
I told him I loved him. He said nothing. I said that’s that then. I went to get my train to the other end of the country. As I approached the station the sound of running feet. His hand slid into mine. His brown/orange eyes looked at me. We kissed. I boarded the train.
