The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable (2013) is a large-scale immersive theatre production by Punchdrunk, directed by Felix Barrett. The work is set within a fragmented, noir-inflected vision of 1960s Hollywood and was staged across a vast warehouse environment at Temple Studios, London. Masked audience members are invited to move freely through an extensive architectural world composed of film studios, desert landscapes, bars, trailers, dressing rooms, and private interiors.

Following its premeire at the Leuven Botanic Gardens in 2021, this exclusive night-time adventure comes to the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin. Suitable for all ages.

This meditative and immersive night-walk will guide you through a series of light and sound installations, exploring Dublin’s iconic Botanic Gardens as you have never seen them before.

'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.
