Spirit Level

A reading of Seamus Heaney's poem Mycenae Lookout propels Cassandra, a young actress, into addressing her own personal trauma during the sectarian violence of 1990's Northern Ireland. A sensorial and immersive trip into a young woman’s psyche, Spirit Level, boldly dissects the emotional manipulation of re-enactment, cinema as an unreliable historian, and the vampiric relationship between identity and performance.
