Project Artists at DTF 2016
The Circus Animals’ Desertion
Brokentalkers
Samuel Beckett Theatre
A major new dance theatre performance The Circus Animals’ Desertion is a poetic response to the imagining of nations, inspired by the Automatic Script experiments of Georgie and William Butler Yeats in which they called upon the spirit world to assist with their creativity.
It’s Not Over
THEATREclub
Samuel Beckett Theatre
‘It will take place in a theatre, but it is not a play. It is a campaign. You will watch a re-enactment of the past 50 years of violent political conflict. We are working with former IRA Volunteers. It’s four and a half hours long. There’ll be a bar and a live band, maybe bingo.’
