In development.
A many-headed cry against historically-driven nationalism and eco-fascism, On Ēglond speaks to the condition of becoming 'islanded' in time, place and ideology.

On Ēglond is a performance project developed by Fen, supported by a Creative Fellowship at University College London, Institute of Advanced Studies (2019-20). The creative team for this stage of development were Maisie Newman (director and visual artist), Rowan Evans (writer and sound artist), Elinor Lower (dramaturg) and Mimi Donaldson (designer and visual artist).
This script is written in bilingual Old English and Modern English and was created in response to research and development with the creative team. It is built around material previously published as WULF (2017-18). Some passages of the script integrate and respond to text written by Maisie Newman and Elinor Lower.
