Dublin Theatre Festival:
AMELIA
BY DEE ROYCROFT
ISL Interpreted Performance
2 October, 7:45pm
Cube | 90 mins
One morning, something flies into the window of a house in the west of Ireland, bringing chaos to a small family living there. On the edge of an ocean, in a world full of weather forecasts and seed arks, four characters reach into possibility, into new dreams of living. Amelia is a solarpunk play about birds, migration, and leaving home. It is set in an offline future where actors make theatre sustained by radical hope, despite carbon quotas and power cuts. In the future of our collective imagining, we will still dance, we will still sing. We will continue to love.
Tickets €20/€18
0800 CUPID
BY THISISPOPBABY
ISL Interpreted Performance
3 October, 7:30pm
The Space Upstairs | 70 mins
Nightlife gatecrash, raucous cabaret and musical extravaganza; 0800 CUPID is a genre-defying queer countercultural opus from THISISPOPBABY that fizzes between performance and reality. Through her drag persona, crumbling club-kid Cupid, Emer Dineen grapples with love in a lonely capitalist paradigm. Hungover, moulting and disorientated, our redundant deity battles modern life, unravelling Emer’s true story of navigating loss, crises, chaotic relationships and feeling the sweet sting of meaningful connection where she least expects it. 0800 CUPID is an SOS response to the swelling social anxiety of a post-pandemic pre-apocalyptic world. A camp catalyst for reconnection; it’s a musical march into and back from the existential brink.
Tickets €25/€23
THE JESUS TRILOGY BY J.M. COETZEE
BY HATCH THEATRE COMPANY, ONCE OFF PRODUCTIONS AND MERMAID ARTS CENTRE
ISL Interpreted Performance
16 October, 7pm
The Space Upstairs | 2 hrs 45 mins approx., incl. interval
Adapted for the stage by Eoghan Quinn in collaboration with Annabelle Comyn
“It may seem heartless to say, but most people, by the time they get here, have washed themselves clean of old ties. I recommend that you do the same.”
A man steps off a boat with a child onto a new land. He is given the name ‘Simon’ and the age of ‘50’. His first mission is to find the lost boy’s mother. But how can he recognise someone he’s never met? An epic adaptation of Nobel Prize laureate J.M. Coetzee’s novels, The Jesus Trilogy is a moving saga exploring the legacy of memory, the nature of passion, and dance. This world premiere by award-winning Hatch Theatre Company re-unites Annabelle Comyn and Eoghan Quinn (colic, DTF 2022) together with a team of leading creatives including Tom Piper, Stephen Dodd, Philip Stewart and Megan Kennedy.
Tickets €25/€23
CONTENT
BY ROSS DUNGAN
ISL Interpreted Performance
18 October, 7:45pm
The Cube
15th Oak (Before Monsters Were Made and The Life and Sort of Death of Eric Argyle) make their festival debut with CONTENT, a new play written by Ross Dungan and directed by Sara Joyce (The Last Return).
During the course of a routine shift on the content moderation floor of an unnamed social media company, Alan and Alannah, two moderators, will have their lives forever altered when a particular video appears on their screens for deletion. A video that sends them on a pulsating search for answers. Alan and Alannah will journey through Arizona eulogies, the comments section and parts of Naas only to unearth… even further questions. A darkly comic new play that blends multimedia, movement and live illustration, CONTENT is the story of the unseen people who are charged with scooping up the sum total of our daily online toxic waste. Armed with a teaspoon.
Tickets €25/€23
