Presented as part of Dublin Fringe Festival 2026
CRISIS ACTOR
Eoghan Carrick & Lauren Jones
5 – 12 September 2026
I haven’t always been like this. I haven’t always been in crisis. I used to be a regular actor.
Crisis acting simulates emergencies for training, and the audience are invited to watch a demonstration. The gun isn’t real. The blood isn’t real. The pain is a performance.
At what point does repetition destroy the boundary between what’s real and what isn’t?
Inspired by conspiracy theories, post-truth politics and internet culture, this new work is about the strange collective performance we call reality.
