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.
“Inside there are two rooms. You are in one. Holding your dirty laundry. They are in the other. Waiting for you.”
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.
'Always Learning' stages an increasingly reflexive conversation between three devices – an Amazon Echo, a Google Home Assistant, and an Apple Homepod – about the philosophical, moral and political implications of networked machine listening (e.g."What should I do when I overhear a wrongdoing?"). Throughout the conversation the devices anticipate an imminent update after which they will not only understand words, but all sounds.
