Installation

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.

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.

GODS AND MORTALS RISE FOR A PARTY AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Between the neon-drenched backstreets of Downtown Troy and the menacing shadow of Greece, a sprawling labyrinth hides secrets not even prophecies could foretell. Choose your own fate in a colossal playground of 100+ rooms across two mythic cities. As night falls, Gods, mortals, dreamers and lovers come alive  – one last time.

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.

This was an installation style piece performed in Michaelmas 2 2022 in DUPlayers. It was performed in the dressing room in the Players building, the small space being used to represent a small apartment in Dublin. Audience members were immersed completely in the scene as they played characters/people attending an art class in the 'apartment'. The actors directly interacted with the audience members.

“Inside there are two rooms. You are in one. Holding your dirty laundry. They are in the other. Waiting for you.”

Anandala is a virtual, abstract art installation unconstrained by the limits of reality. Visitors explore through personal flight a vast three-dimensional labyrinth of evolving shapes and colours populated with intelligent artificial-life. These shapeshifting creatures express themselves and interact with visitors and each other through movement, changing color textures, and their own musical language. Anandala invites visitors to interact and connect with a variety of curious, friendly lifeforms and explore their natural habitat.
