Dignity | Amanda Coogan with Lianne Quigley, Alvean Jones and Dublin Theatre of the Deaf
24 – 27 September | Cube
Previews: €20 | Performances: €25/23
Performed in Irish Sign Language
This acclaimed collaboration returns to its enduring engagement with the work of deaf playwright Teresa Deevy, reimagining one of her most celebrated radio plays in the centenary year of Radio Éireann. “Leave your mind free to follow my words.” In Deevy’s 1939 radio play, listeners are invited into an unseen world.
In Dignity, audiences are invited into another invisible realm, following bodies, movement and sign as they reveal what happens beyond the reach of sound. Like Deevy, we have learned to listen differently. Through Irish Sign Language, we watch, sign and resist, opening a visual world that deepens our connection to her work and its transformation into a rich choreographic language.

Previews: €23 | 28 & 30 Sept: €28/25 | 1 – 4 Oct: €33/30

“It’s a strange world now” – David Hasselhoff
This year. A major gallery in a capital city. A celebrated Scandinavian artist is about to present his latest work. It could be his last. Heroes of Tomorrow is a story of how we got here. It’s a story of art, power and protest. A story of possibility, connection and corruption. An epic tale of oil, trade, weaponry, technology, colony and creativity. Of Vikings, empire, exploitation and extraction. Heroes of Tomorrow is the latest work from award winning Brokentalkers, created in collaboration with acclaimed theatre maker Andy Smith.
Rebellious Hope | Company Philip Connaughton and Once Off Productions
30 Sept – 4 Oct | Cube

Audio Described performance: 4 Oct, 1:15pm
Choreographer Philip Connaughton brings together seven internationally acclaimed dancers aged 46 to 86 and renowned composer-musician Mel Mercier for a striking new live performance charged with presence, urgency and defiance. Combining dance, live music and personal testimony, Rebellious Hope offers a rare encounter with performers whose vulnerability and virtuosity are shaped by decades of lived experience. Rebellious Hope explores endurance, desire, memory and asks what remains, what endures and what compels us to carry on.
4.48 Psychosis | Once Off Productions
6 – 11 October | Cube
Preview: €25 | Performances: €30/27
ISL Interpreted performance: Sun 11 Oct, 5pm
Radical, intimate and darkly funny, 4.48 Psychosis remains “a work of extraordinary beauty” (The New York Times) – confronting despair, lucidity, survival and death with devastating clarity.
Director Tom Creed and performer Marty Rea bring extraordinary precision and emotional intensity to one of the most influential plays of the last thirty years, in a rare opportunity for Irish audiences to encounter the work of one of the most challenging and controversial playwrights of the 20th century.
La Parabole du Seum [Parable of the Sour] | Compagnie Dans le Ventre
8 – 10 October | Space Upstairs
Tickets: €35/32
Performed in French with English subtitles
The starting point of La Parabole du Seum [Parable of the Sour] is Fear and the necessity it creates to organise in order to survive it. Rébecca Chaillon brings together performers who live on the margins and who actively engage daily with the future and its (im)possibilities.
She moves Heaven and Earth, including her home territory of Seine-Saint-Denis, to broaden the horizon of what is possible, composing a work at once astronomical and astrological which brings together text, performance, visual and sound imagery: a parable of venom and anger which seeks to spark dreams, laughter, empathy, and revolt against the coming fascism.
A scientist lives guided by algorithms. Like every one of us. Until the algorithm sends her in search of love. And the cure for cancer. What begins as a scientific investigation takes her through desire, ambition, and strange encounters, as the line between coincidence and meaning becomes increasingly difficult to draw.
Starring Kate Finegan, James Ireland, Fiona McGeown, and Ankur Vikal, The Cure for Cancer is the new darkly comic play by award-winning Argentine playwright and director Gabriel Graves, whose work has been presented in Argentina, Ireland, Italy, Ecuador and Mexico.
Winner of the Argentores National From Text to Stage Award for best play, The Cure for Cancer has its world premiere at Project Arts Centre.
ISL interpreted performance: 31 October, 2:45pm.
Sibéal Davitt. Anderson de Souza. Alex O’Neill. Simone O’Toole. Anne Rowe. Mufutau Yusuf. And more performers to be announced.
One body becomes many. A voice becomes a chorus. David Bolger’s luminous new work finds poetry, wit and possibility in the company of others.
Featuring music by Denis Clohessy, lighting by John Gunning, costumes by Arran Murphy, and hair & makeup by Val Sherlock. For cast and creative team biographies and more visit coisceim.com.

When a Physicist decides to take his family on a daytrip to the beach, this perfectly ordinary man is forced to confront the very nature of reality itself, all on a perfectly ordinary Sunday.
What If We Get To Be Happy is a new play written and performed by award-winning playwright Emmet Kirwan.
In this electrifying co-production between Olivier award-winning Fishamble and trailblazers THISISPOPBABY, science and magical realism combine to create a tender, funny and quietly epic play about, Physics, Family and the Universe.
ISL interpreted performance: 12 February.
