SOUP
by Headonbody
Tuesday 26 October | In Person | 8pm (Duration 45 mins)
Tickets €10
Soup is a kinetic shrine to a lost parent and an absurd meditation on the process of grief. It exists inside a fey mirror world built out of vegetables, polystyrene heads, the kitchen table and inhabited by a sinuous doppelgänger. Performed with a mutant physicality, it is simultaneously brutish, sensual, ridiculous and vulnerable. It see-saws between hilarious and harrowing as it reaches for a shared state of catharsis with the audience. Soup was created by performer and choreographer Deirdre Griffin in collaboration with sound designer Craig Cox.

CONFLUENCE
by META4 Dance Company
Wednesday 27 October | Free Premiere on Youtube Event | 8pm (Duration 30 mins)
Premiere from their base in North East England, Meta4 Dance Company (Lily Horgan and Charlie Dunne) present Confluence, a dance film that looks at rhythm and strength within the natural world, the permanence of nature and the impermanence of humanity.
IN PLACE
by Croí Glan Integrated Dance
Saturday 30 October | In Person | 8pm (Duration 50 mins)
Tickets €10
In Place is a diptych of dance works, choreographed by Croí Glan’s Artistic Co-Director Tara Brandel, and performed by Linda Fearon, Leighton Morrison and Tara Brandel. In Place plays with the relationship between the fragility and durability of the soft human form, and the surfaces and spaces of the architecture in which the performers are situated.
