The title Arrastre denotes a drag in dance terminology, but is also the name for a crude apparatus used for pulverizing ore. Between choreography and a purely mechanistic series of random actions, Arrastre is populated by unfamiliar objects that are the protagonists in a drama with unknown parameters and driven by obscure forces.

In 1934 while on a road trip, British painter Paul Nash placed several small geometric objects onto a car roof to photograph them. Invoking the nomadic inclination of idealised form, Transit of the Megaliths provides a road trip for a set of fragments derived from paintings of the 1920s-40s.

Sami, a Syrian refugee in the UK, and Bryony, an aimless young librarian, embark on a highly personal quest to preserve a bell from a demolished Christian church. What begins as a civic protest quickly becomes a criminal case when they accidentally near fatally injure a security guard, and find themselves on the run from the police. However, our accidental heroes’ fate is sealed by a kindly police sergeant who is moved by their mission, and our odd-couple achieve their goal of saving the bell and reminding the town they both call home about the importance of remembering its own story.
