Upside Down & Underground

Isadora Epstein

28 MARCH

Book Now
Black and white cartoon drawing of two men who are upside down and underground. The men are conversing with a worm and some potatoes. The title Upside Down & Underground is written over them.

*Extra performance added – 6.30 pm on March 28*

Upside Down & Underground is a new variety show from the underworld hosted by Isadora Epstein and Stéphane Béna Hanly, with performances by dancer Aoibhinn O’Dea; musicians Róisín Ní Haicéid, Paddy Critchley, Míchéal Keating, and Davy Kehoe. Costume design by Amie Egan.

Part archeological dig, part gig, there is just so much buried to be dug up and unearthed: bog bodies, treasure, potatoes and the unending darkness of the unknown! Performance will be followed by dancing and a DJ Set with Tom Prendergast.
