TRASH by Claudia Schwartz
A piece of experimental music theatre
Sunday 15th and Monday 16th May 8pm, followed by an open A/Q talk with the artist and by an atmospheric Berlin style bar...
- E 10/8 admission
A new theatrical piece by Berlin actress Claudia Schwartz directed by Liam Halligan. This will be an hour long original piece integrating text, imagery and live music/sound-scape in collaboration with cellist/sound artist Claire Fitch from the NSO.
Trash is a development of a work-in-progress piece called "Filth" , inspired by Austrian playwright Robert Schneider, which Liam and Claudia created for Project Brand New as part of the Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival in the Project Arts Centre in 2009.
Some audience feedback on Filth...
'Illuminating on the grotesque power of racism on the self. Really wonderfully and skilfully performed.
'Provoked this amazing sense of unease, sometimes downright creepiness!'
Needs to be seen by more people, doesn't need to be changed at all. Beautiful imagery and Symbolism.'

By Joseph Mercier (United Kingdom) Irish Premiere
May, Wedn 4-Sat 7th, 9.30 pm (4 performances only - no Matinée)
In a highly personal and visual performance, multi-talented Joseph
Mercier re-lives his time in the world of tights and tutus, reflecting on
body image, body limits and the constant temptation of his favourite
pair of sleezy black boots. Witness an ambitious dancer push himself
to physical extremes, as he dances to the original music of Giselle
and challenges what it means to be a Prince.
Funny, moving and embarrassing, ‘Giselle, or I’m Too Horny to be a Prince’ is an intimate story of how one’s dreams can collapse and transform, told through dance, kink and exhaustion.
Don’t miss it (4 performances only). Contains nudity and explicit references.
Recommended for ages 16 +

become Queen of a divided country. Crowned Queen Sofia must rule a country, defend her
subjects, and oppose the wrath that condemns his nature - Unmissable.

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!
