Jo, an Australian graduate archaeology student, leaves Dan, her surfie boyfriend to study with Dr Marks, an archaeology professor at the British Museum. Their object of study is a fictionalised version of Linden Man, the ‘body in the bog’—a likely Celtic ritual sacrifice deriving from the period of the Roman invasion of Britain. Jo is thrown back into a Celtic apprehension of life and sacrifice as she is forced to face elements of her own nature and likely life choices. The piece is a concrete evocation of the tension between visible and the apprehended worlds.
