Standing Stones near Dunadd

Major new NVA landscape work in Argyll

Nov 10, 2006

NVA in partnership with the National Theatre of Scotland will be presenting their next major landscape work in Argyll as part of the Year of Highland Culture programme in September 2007. Following on from the Isle of Skye environmental animation, The Storr: Unfolding Landscape (2005), the new production focuses on some of the most powerful ritualised landscape in the UK.

Kilmartin and North Knapdale are home to an unbelievable concentration of standing stones, burial cairns, henges, duns, mills and cup and ring marked rocks. With the Corrievreckan, the third largest whirlpool in the world, guarding the entrance to Crinan Moss and Dunadd the earliest seat of the Scottish Kings, it carries an importance that spans 4,000 years of human development.

This becomes the starting point for a set of day and night time experiences, ranging across 100 square miles of remarkable terrain, that set out to uncover the perspectives and creation myths that gave rise to some of the earliest public art still visible in the Northern hemisphere.
