A SIMULTANEOUS POEM: THE CENTRE FOR DYING ON STAGE #1

Show Time: 6.00pm - 8.00pm

Dina Danish
Dive Bar events are always free and this will be a seated event with limited capacity. To ensure your place, please email your name to gallery@projectartscentre.ie. We advise that you arrive by 6:10pm, or risk losing your spot at the Dive Bar.
On this evening, Dina Danish will present a press conference, which will be conducted by a panel of experts, with assistance from the props department. Just to note, if A Simultaneous Poem were to take place, it would involve Charlie Chaplin, Theo van Doesburg, Kurt Schwitters and the ridiculously good-looking Letterist International (and everybody else). Cocktail of the evening will be The French 75, served on ice for €5.
This event is running as part of the exhibition The Centre For Dying On Stage #1, curated by Kate Strain. Every Thursday a recurring Dive Bar will transform the gallery into an informal social space for performance, exchange and encounter.
