Presented as part of Dublin Fringe Festival 2026
The Act of Existing
Croí Glan & Philip Connaughton
7 – 11 September 2026
A performance shaped by others.
In this provocative new duet by Philip Connaughton for Croí Glan, performers navigate a world of shifting rules, unexpected choices and uncertain outcomes.
Blurring the boundaries between observation and participation, the work invites audiences into a live encounter where influence is never straightforward and responsibility is never neutral.
Playful, unsettling and revealing, this striking new work explores what it means to simply be ourselves in relation to others. As expectations, choices and boundaries shift, The Act of Existing asks whether the simple act of being can become something profound.
Home Ground Performance: 9 Sep, 9pm. For disabled and queer/LGBTQIA+ audiences.
