Who is Fergus Kilpatrick? (The Company Theatre Co., 2009)

An unknown name has been found in the records of our history. Why haven’t you been told about him? Why was he kept a secret? And who is Fergus Kilpatrick?

A re-imagining of Irish history. theatre, video and stories filled with white lies and conspiracies clash with old footage, old documents, old heroes to uncover new answers, a new company and a new truth. Or do they?

Inspired by The Theme of the Traitor and the Hero by Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges.

As you are now so we once were (The Company Theatre Co., 2010)

Why haven’t you read Ulysses? Ulysses is Dublin. You live in Dublin. So do we. Four actors in a city we don’t really know pick up the most important and unread book in Irish history and follow James Joyce as he invents a whole city and its people.

The Company delve into Joyce’s seminal work and ask, where are you in this story? Join us as we rediscover what it means to be Irish.

POLITIK (The Company Theatre Co., 2012)

POLITIK questions how much our participation determines the system I which we live. Accepting the fact that over one million people didn’t vote in the 2012 election, The Company now wants to talk about that which they used to ignore: maybe it’s time to reimagine our politiks.

A participatory theatre experience where every audience member has the chance to shape the show they see.

The Rest is Action (The Company Theatre Co., 2014)

What was empty is now what makes it all work. Empty gestures become action. 2,500 years ago we invented a fiction called tragedy. We believed in it so much it became real. We live in it now. Why can’t we get out of it? Why do we still need a fiction to line in? This is not the story of a tragic hero, it is yours.

A radical visual journey to our origins, The Rest is Action takes a look at The Oresteia from a new perspective to investigate how everyone today, as in the past, is a tragic subject of their own making.
