Boy Child

by Dagogo Hart & Felispeaks

Theatre

I walked home that night in the same spirits I left the boys, highs and lows and middle grounds of uncertainty. The Lagos sky at 7pm was the blue of a thunderstorm at sea, but I barely noticed it. Even I sometimes get bored with the beauty around me.
Two of Dublin’s most exciting spoken word artists and poets, FeliSpeaks (aka Felicia Olusanya) and Dagogo Hart, deliver gritty, rare and raw performances in a tale written carefully to display the nuances of the life of the modern day man.

Viva Voce

by Lauren-Shannon Jones

Lecture Performance, Theatre

There is no map for going insane, but there are clues. People who have gone before you leave them behind. Sometimes they leave everything behind.

Learning from the great depressives Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf and Diane Arbus, Lauren-Shannon Jones tries to solve the mystery of her own madness. A darkly playful interactive tour through a nervous breakdown.
