Staging the Treaty

ANU Productions brought to life one of the most significant events in Irish history – the Treaty Debates.

Poet and writer Theo Dorgan spent over 3 years working with the original documents, fearlessly and scrupulously replaying the debates in the words of those who participated exploring both the historical and contemporary relevance of the debate.

Directed by Louise Lowe.

FLOOD

Flood is a groundbreaking 45-minute location-based XR drama for up to 8 audience members. It’s a dark, foreboding, cinematic experience, set during and after an apocalyptic climate event, which confronts audiences with a bold and visceral vision of what happens when land turns to water. Audiences are dropped into a beautifully bleak virtual world where they have to work together with the cast to find dry land.

Monoliths

Three women. Three voices. The northern landscape.

Three stories open the world of the English northern landscape in virtual reality, what it means to come from it, live in it and belong to it.

Monoliths interweaves radiant renderings of three northern UK environments – a moor, a city and a coast – with sweeping soundscapes and poetic monologues by Hannah Davies, Carmen Marcus and Asma Elbadawi. At once imaginative and immersive, this XR experience is an arresting testament to the inextricable link between person and place.
