SHOW 3
LORCA IS DEAD
By Belt Up Productions (United Kingdom) - Irish Premiere
May, Mon 9th- Sat 14th, 8 pm - Matinée Saturday at 2.30 pm
You are about to be seduced back to 1920 or something by a frantic
group of talented actors at break neck speed. The dust is settling
on a Europe splintered by war. You are brought into Andre Breton’s
apartment as a colleague of the Surrealist art movement. Their
purpose: to pay tribute to the beloved Spanish poet Federico Garcia
Lorca. Join them in re-enacting his life of love, persecution and
revolution. Gradually their motive is revealed to be an attempt to subdue the egotistical Salvador Dali by reminding him of his kindred spirit and former lover, Lorca. By the end of the play though, the Surrealist group lies in tatters, Dali is lost and Lorca is dead and you have had the most amazing interactive theatre experience!
