Variations for Two Disabled Bodies
Bobbi Byrne & Soso Ní Cheallaigh presented by Project Arts Centre
Ever wondered what it would feel like to be in a completely different body? Bobbi and Soso are very alike. Bobbi and Soso are very different. Honest, witty and illuminating, this is a duet with a difference. It’s a rip-roaring tour through the lived experiences and hidden complexities of disability and gender. Join Bobbi and Soso as they explore everything from walking, to falling, to Davina McCall.
At a time when LGBTQIA+ and disability rights are being dismantled, Variations for Two Disabled Bodies is a defiant celebration of disability, the beauty of difference, and the power of friendship.
Commissioned by Project Arts Centre through Europe Beyond Access, co-funded by the European Union. Supported by Dance Ireland.
10 – 13 September, 6:30 pm
All performances will be relaxed with ISL interpretation.

Pea Dinneen: Raising Her Voice
Presented by Pea Dinneen & Once Off Productions
A trans fantasia Devised in collaboration with Ronan Phelan and Paul Prior.
How do you raise a voice? How do you get a whole country to hear it?
Well, with 90s pop bangers adapted to fit a playful, subversive personal narrative about transgender liberation in the face of an uncaring system – OBVIOUSLY. Join niche cabaret legend Pea Dinneen and her fabulous band for this world premiere.
This is as much a play about three decades in the history of a nation as it is a vast ongoing vanity project from a disenfranchised millennial hag.

Developed with the assistance of The Abbey Theatre Amharclann Na Mainistreach. Funded by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.

Change
Croí Glan
This is an invocation. This dance performance weaves a powerful call to climate action through movement, music, and diverse bodies in motion. Created by Croí Glan, a disabled led dance company, and inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s Not Too Late, this hope filled performance reimagines the world through resilience, connection, and community. With collaborators from the Environmental Research Institute at UCC, Change is a vibrant celebration of what we’ve lost—and what we can still save.
The clock is ticking. Are you on board for change?
Created in collaboration with scientists from the Environmental Research Institute at UCC, and with diverse performers from diverse lands, this interdisciplinary dance theatre piece draws on the climate impacts experienced by its international and Irish cast, inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s Not Too Late and Christiana Figueres’s The Future We Choose.
