Live Collision International Festival returns in 2022 celebrating ‘liveness’; embracing the proximity of live performance and inviting audiences to share space, time and environment. Together we’ll explore formal and informal spaces while the festival programme asks us to gather around ideas, provocations and imaginations. LCIF2022 artists and artworks excavate with urgency topics such as class, race, rhetoric, migration, mental health, feminism, identity, gender, sexuality, access, equality and displacement. We invite you to bask in the meditative chant of live performance, to contemplate, to escape, to lose yourself and to uplift your heart in a frenzy of shared festival experiences. Live Collision International Festival is an annual curated festival of Live Art presenting some of the most groundbreaking artists of our time, alongside new voices and the next generation of makers from Europe, the UK and Ireland with exceptional work across performance and digital platforms. Live Collision is funded by the Arts Council's Festivals Investment Scheme and Dublin City Council Arts Office. Visit the full Live Collision programme here. Image Credit: Goldmoth Media
