A theatrical installation in which Manchán invites you to adopt an Irish word in order to breathe life into it.

In Gaeilge Tamagotchi Manchan invites you to adopt an Irish word. Participants wind through a labyrinth of 30m of raw Irish linen to receive an endangered Irish word from the artist, which they agree to nurture, nourish and take guardianship of. They each receive a word unique to them and are given the opportunity to print or paint their word on stone, oak-wood, or linen as a ritualistic covenant.

“O, Rocks!”  In a meaty delicacy that ignites the senses, David Bolger’s evocative response to Ulysses Episode 4 probes dual realities to create a highly original dance performance installation of unsettling, voluptuous beauty.  Each audience member is taken on an intimate, deeply personal, multi-sensorial journey designed to linger long after they have left the landmark building of 42 Fairview Strand.

The story of the Greek hero, Odysseus, and his long journey home was passed down to us in a poem by Homer – The Odyssey. Today, the word odyssey evokes an arduous journey for any person. But where do you go back to when you have no home? MEXA is a collective founded in 2015 following outbreaks of violence in so-called homeless shelters in São Paulo. For several years, they have been working out of Casa do Povo (House of the People), a revolutionary Jewish cultural centre founded in São Paulo in 1946 to promote values of radical solidarity.

Marking acclaimed choreographer Jean Butler’s return to working with traditional Irish dancers, ‘What We Hold’ is a site-specific work which unfolds as a series of encounters performed by an intergenerational cast of contemporary and traditional dancers that range in age from mid teens to late 60’s.

Mount Average is about the struggle of how we deal with the past and how history carved in stone becomes a problem today.

Mount Average is a factory that works with monuments of leaders, politicians and intellectuals. From Leopold II, to Hitler or Colbert. The monuments are the “raw material” for a process of transformation. Mount Average is a highly efficient factory that produces nothing. It is about an ongoing process of creating and deconstructing. About doing and not doing. About finding and letting go. The factory sets a process in motion that revolves around becoming.
