Mutuality: A Modern Myth

Across thousands of years, lives touch one another without ever meeting.In present-day Brittany, Genni and Henri are restoring an old stone farmhouse when something hidden beneath the ruins begins to reveal itself.In Cornwall, Maya and Tom are asked whether a new data centre can be built - and find themselves asking a very different question: what does a place, and the people who live there, actually need?Elsewhere in time, seventeen-year-old lives are unfolding. Yellow Feathers watches the world beyond her Lakota community begin to change. Lilian arrives in 1920s Cairo, newly married and far from everything familiar. Dana is carried from Poland towards Siberia as Europe descends into war. And in Victorian London, Annie takes her younger brothers and sisters across the city to see Buffalo Bill's Wild West, where a chance encounter unsettles the story she thought she understood.Their worlds are separated by centuries, continents and circumstance, yet the same quiet truth runs beneath them: nobody survives alone.Mutuality is a modern myth about memory, agency, technology, belonging and the relationships that sustain us - between people, between generations, and between human beings and the living world.Sometimes what connects us has been there all along. We simply have to learn how to see it.
