As part of Dublin Fringe Festival 2025.
Octopus Children
FELISPEAKS presented by THISISPOPBABY
5 - 7 September, 11 - 14 September
My Nigeria happened in Longford town.
Written by FELISPEAKS, Octopus Children follows Young Felicia coming of age as a queer, ‘Black Irish midlands culchie’ grappling with their identity, led by a wise guide: The Octopus.
Part poetic landscape, part gig theatre, Octopus Children marries FELISPEAKS’ spellbinding spoken word with choreography, music, and stunning visual design.
Directed by Oonagh Murphy, this powerful, premiere invites everyone into the Black and Irish experience, and encourages anyone on the fringes to step forward unapologetically, without retreating their tentacles.
