Triptych

Thousands of veterans' minds are tormented by the things they witnessed and actions they performed in the line of duty. Loss of limb is visible; mental pain is not - and so is more easily dismissed. Many try to hide it because they feel ashamed and, as a consequence, their situation deteriorates. Their family suffers. Marital breakdown is common. Suicide rates are high.

Triptych is a heart-rending installation of talking heads, a compelling family saga and an exhilarating duet for two male dancers. Together, they offer a shocking, darkly humorous and profoundly moving insight into the significant consequences of taking up arms 'for Queen and country'.

A film installation where men and women, military veterans, their mothers, partners and wives speak openly and directly about their experience of the aftermath of military service - on those who served, and on those they love.

NOTE: This event will be taking place at Portland House, Bute Street, and outside of Chapter Arts Centre, Canton.
