“The salt-breath of the earth over the marsh, her breath in my mouth.
That stretch of evening. Blue light, the dogs free..” - Megan Hunter

The Project
Salt of The Earth is a performance installation and artistic reflection on what it means to actively bear witness to our climate emergency. Through a radical reimagining of the tale of Lot’s Wife, Salt of The Earth explores one powerful act of resistance: a woman’s refusal to look away from the destruction of her world. Set amongst salt marshes, at its core, Salt of The Earth is a love letter to the Salt Marshes of the world.
Spanning theatre, film and music Salt of The Earth is created by artist and director Sophie Hunter leading an internationally acclaimed creative team. The production premieres in Venice in September 2024 and includes a monologue written by Megan Hunter and performed by Olwen Fouéré, movement by choreographer Imogen Knight, costumes by Simone Rocha and Samuel Wyer and a choral piece composed by Isobel Waller-Bridge.
