Dublin Theatre Festival: Shaun Dunne and Project Arts Centre present
A porn set.
A private dance class.
A perpetual agreement.
Cash in hand.
Based on a true story, This Solution is a new documentary-theatre hybrid from Shaun Dunne that fuses revelatory testimony with new writing, dance, and original music. Inspired by a young Irish man’s experience of the gay porn industry, this genre-bending new work looks at consent and contracts, regret and rebirth, uniting a compelling team of contemporary artists. This project marks Dunne’s return to Dublin Theatre Festival following the cinematic release of “How to tell a Secret” (IFTA nominated, adapted from Rapids, DTF, 2018).
World Premiere.
