Wayfaring Stranger (2024)

Wayfaring Stranger charts the life of an itinerant character, embodied by seven performers across seven days representing seven decades. Each 'day' is a 'station' that signifies a turning point in their emotional development: from escape, through loss, grief and waywardness, to solidarity and co-existence. Filmed across landscapes marked by centuries of ceaseless human extraction, Wayfaring Stranger asks what it takes to find a liveable life on one's own terms and without conflict with others and the environment. Within the sound design by multi-award-winning sound recordist Chris Watson, the polyphonic environment scores the seasonal changes alongside the human and topographic shifts.
