A requiem for the commons, heaths and greens once key to East Anglian village life, Justin Hopper and Laura Cannell present a new performance inspired by the language of ‘inclosure’ – one of the most consequential practices of rural life in John Constable’s time. ‘A Celebration of the General’ reworks 19th-century primary-source historical texts into new poems and chants, set to composed and improvised music, to mourn the loss of the commonly held land.
