CORPUS (Canada)

Meet Daniel – the night before he undergoes a major hospital procedure. Sit in the room with him, smell the disinfectant, hear the echoes of feet in the corridor outside. Tomorrow he will have the truth cut out of him. Will he go through with it?

Why is the truth so important to him? Playwright Dave Duggan explores the political and human side of healing, asking sometimes unanswerable questions about the legacy of the death and violence experienced in Northern Ireland.

A Flock of Flyers – This is a charming piece of chuckle-filled theatre charged with an engaging and wacky energy. A flying squadron grounded due to lack of planes continue their training on the ground.

Les Moutons – Pack a picnic for an unusual, endearing and hilarious surprise show.

Presented in association with Dublin City Council.

This production is kindly supported by Dublin Dental Hospital.

Absence & Presence Andrew Dawson (UK) A deeply intimate and touching production in which dancer and performer Andrew Dawson explores – not without wry humour – the death of his father. His father died in 1985 and tragically, his body lay undiscovered for ten days.

The trauma inspired Dawson to create this unusual autobiographical work which deals with his sense of loss and guilt and the unique emotions which exist between father and son.

The work uses sculpture, video, mime and the delicate, sensitive movement Dawson has long established as his artistic signature, to create a memorable production that is both emotionally and visually captivating.

Whiplash (Ireland)

“A Night at the Theatre”, “An Evening with Peter Ustinov”, “This is your Life”…those nights when a great thespian looks back over a glorious career in the theatre. After a life trawling through the murky depths of the Dublin Fringe, Volta compere and name-dropper extraordinaire Prionsias O’Ferfaille feels the time has come to make himself the subject of such a show... but all is not well backstage. Vicious infighting with his cast and crew, and strained relations with the Fringe Festival Office threaten to deprive Prionsias of his moment of glory.

Bear Hug

Bewley’s Café Theatre in association with Bang Bangs (Ireland)

Linda, David and their 18 year-old son Michael are the perfect middle class family but for one small problem – Michael has turned into a bear. Mother has lost her hands to her hungry off-spring, while their playful son has left Dad’s guts spilling across the kitchen floor. Despite all of this, they are determined to slap on a smile and pretend to the neighbours that everything is just fine.

A surreal black comedy that deals with fame, celebrity, drug addiction and friendship. Three friends, former child stars, hang out in a bar many years after they were famous. They talk about their failures, insecurities and addictions.

However, these three friends are not just washed up B movie actors, they are Mickey, Minnie and Donald, three of the most recognisable icons of the 20th century. Originally staged 30 years ago, the play’s themes are even more relevant now in our who’s who, celebrity-obsessed world.

Written by Campbell Black and directed by Alan King.

When she learns that the state has banned the burial of her beloved brother, Antigone gives the state a two-fingered salute and does what she thinks is right. The question is – Do you the audience believe that Antigone has the right to take the law into her own hands? Come along, interact and make your voice heard. The audience are “the people” who decide whether Antigone lives or dies. Vive La Révolution!

Somewhere along the way they may let you in on a few of their secrets for eternal youth, or even sing a song or two. More fun than a funeral. A show that will leave you in pieces…

Drive By The Performance Corporation and Once Off Productions

Blank Canvas (Ireland) An original interpretation of this Russian classic through words and music. A public servant becomes increasingly convinced that his destiny and true identity are greater than the path his life has taken to this point. As his conviction grows, he slowly becomes disengaged from the world around him while travelling deeper into his imagination.

Gender-Realignment and Other Adventures. In contemporary Manchester, Georgia is a boy who wants to be a girl, but in the meantime she has got to survive another seedy night imitating 80’s punk icons and avoiding her Dad’s fists. In Dublin, 50 years before, aristocratic Michael Dillon is studying medicine at Trinity, where noone realises he used to be Laura, and is the world’s first surgical female-to-male transsexual.

What happens when even changing your sex isn’t enough to discover who you really are?

Rotozaza (UK)

Ensemble Leitundlause (Germany)

A minimal masterpiece from the creators of Doublethink and Romcom. Three willing guests await instructions from Aquaworld’s loud speaker system. Clothed in swimsuits, clutching towels, they do what they’re told. Teeth grinding, disturbing, hilarious and addictive, their predicament holds us rapt. Between the laughs, we begin to question what we have been seeing and wonder if we have been wrong about it all along.

Rotozaza have developed a unique theatrical strategy of giving instructions to unrehearsed guest performers, different every night.

“Rotozaza capture all the weirdness of the unconscious world – there is no doubting the talent or ambition of a company who can so intriguingly prod at our unconscious.”

A stylish musical theatre performance about speech as product. Five women exploring the strange and wonderful world of the every day life in which the human voice - once the most individual means to express oneself - has turned into a market for stereotypical voices encountered everywhere: airports, trains, supermarkets, commercials etc. Unearthing speech patterns, sounding out how we communicate in the modern world and performed as an oral flip book, this piece is an aural treat.

Includes vocal compositions from Georges Aperghis, Cathy Berberian, Emanuele Casale, Meredith Monk and Michael Hirsch, most of whom treat language as non-semantic sound material and create subtle, imaginative and absurd music full of Dadaistic humour.

Barabbas (Ireland)

Grunts, shrieks and shoulder shrugs of teenagers trying to learn the vocabulary of life. This is an intense and immediate journey into the life of someone still a child yet busy becoming a grown-up, needing both love and power whilst scrabbling for the highest spot in the pecking order. At times aggressive, always engaging and teetering on the edge of life itself, this is a piece so physical and urgent that you cannot help but be sucked in and engrossed by the lives you are witnessing.

The Hair Salon meets the stage in this engaging, funny and entirely original production. One lucky audience member will be drawn out of the hat and have their hair cut live onstage each night.

Performed by Raymond Keane, who worked as a hair stylist in Cork, Dublin, London and Amsterdam before trading in his scissors for a red nose. This charming and thought-provoking production keeps one foot in reality and the other in an entirely magical realm.

“Barabbas has been a byword in Irish theatre for all that is wonderfully innovative and imaginative.”

This unlikely frolic takes the audience on a probing journey from the Garden of Eden to the terminal combustion of sun and earth and ultimately suggests a fragile marriage between full frontal Agnosticism and personal, no-frills Buddhism.

John Moran & His Neighbour Saori John Moran (USA) Having been described as “a modern day Mozart”, composer/performer John Moran is one of the most revolutionary artists working today.

Generally regarded as the protégé of composer Philip Glass, his strange and virtually impossible to describe works of music-theatre have featured performers such as Uma Thurman, Iggy Pop, Allen Ginsberg and Julia Stiles in leading roles.

Performing with New York based gymnast and dancer, Saori, this piece is a love declaration, relishing in the musicality of the body, of language and of voice and featuring Moran’s trademark use of everyday noises and conversations in his composition.

Noise

Chrysotheres Productions (Greece)

Noise is a story of jazz, friendship and mystery in Chicago. Within a web of secrets, petty struggles and private anxieties, the South Side world of Eddie, a saxophonist, collides with the North Side world of Natalie, a Tribune reporter investigating a mysterious death. Integrating live jazz performance with the verbal rhythms of Chicago, this is a tragicomic window into love, loss, chance and the city.

It is 1926 and a housing crisis is raging through Moscow. This story explores the love triangle of a woman, her husband and his friend. We find the trio sharing a cramped, one room apartment; bed swapping abounds. This is a physical comedy that draws on silent film and Russian realism, with brushstrokes of American musicals and the world of make-believe. A clever, fun children’s story for adults.

Based in Athens, this acclaimed Greek company leaves its home turf for the first time to appear in the FRINGE this year.

Performed in Greek with English subtitles.

Rockaby Project winterMute (Greece) Samuel Beckett’s delicate dramatic piece which is traditionally performed by an aging actress, is presented here by a young female performer from Japan. She performs the piece through her body, her inner thoughts framed by a circular, claustrophic environment.

The winterMute project seeks to explore existential questions from the point of view of both young and old, exploring a world where overturned furniture and distant sounds create a space that can be returned to again and again.

A farcical tale of misadventure that relishes in the dynamics of small rural communities, their childish power struggles and eccentric traditions. Celebrating the ridiculousness of some English pastimes, this anarchic comedy gallops along at a cracking pace, exuding real charm and wit as it goes.

An intimate account of private desolation, charged with a rare electricity and stark lyricism.

This is an arresting piece that tells the story of an unfulfilled dream of belonging, of finding one’s true home. Told through only the first and last day of a relationship, the audience is invited to complete the story for themselves and participate in the creation of the performance.

“We are exposed to the bitterness and the euphoria of a love that we have all experienced but few of us can touch without injury as the actors twist their bodies and lift their psyches through the harrowing experience that Ken Phillips has had the sheer monumental guts to coax them through.” www.anglofritz.de

A twisted love triangle unfolds as the three characters manipulate each others notion of reality in the haze of a chemical disaster. This show is a conjuring act.

The Audio DeTOURists (Ireland) This piece is a truly sensorial, primitive and nourishing experience. Two naked bodies are engrossed in a silent ritual, a strange ballet unearthing primitive human impulses. There is no defined acting area and you are able to move around freely. A man and a woman walk in silence.

They are blind and they fumble their way through the space. Their hands are gloved and not even a millimetre of their skin is visible. Confronted with their own imprisonment, within the space and amongst the audience, they peel the layers of their clothes away. Then begins a ritual trance in which you, the audience, are invited to take part.

Rex Levitates (Ireland)

Facundo and Martin Lombard, a.k.a. “The Twins,” started dancing together on the streets of Argentina at the age of seven. From arriving at the age of 19 in New York with no English, jobs, or contacts, in 2 years they succeeded, after many doors being shut in their face, in becoming one of the most energised and talked about acts Manhattan had seen in years. Current résumés include dance appearances with James Brown, Michael Jackson and the late Tito Puente, plus roles in a Versace US ad campaign and a fashion shoot in American Vogue.

Cross Purposes – What happens when your body is at cross purposes with itself? When you go so far that the only option is to keep going, to follow through? When you bring your body to a tranquil, yet trance-like state and exhaustion ensues? A trippy, high voltage piece that gives you no option but to come along for the ride.

The Same Jane – Our bodies remember things that our minds forget. Two dancers that have worked together for over six years unearth the imprints, resonances and differing memories of performance that they hold kinetically in their bodies.

The Little Death Marina Sossi Group (UK) A lone woman is compelled to re-enact her experience of a one night stand. In part a simple story of holiday romance, but also the tale of the relationship between performer and audience and of an actress’s internal dialogue with her exhibitionist nature. A visually stark, compelling and intimately personal work.

Walk Don’t Run Rebecca Walter, Lian Bell and Hugh O’Neill (Ireland) Windscreen washers, newspaper sellers and weaving bicycles are all to be expected while waiting at a set of traffic lights. But a 20 second dance piece? When the lights go red, we get just this – a series of fun and surprising instant dance pieces reflecting the peculiar patterns and shapes we make everyday. Sometimes reflections of city madness and sometimes snippets of stillness amongst it all – get down to Dame Street for some 20 second dance-offs.

Date 22–23 Sept Time 1pm Venue Dame Street/George’s Street Intersection Duration 30 mins Tickets Free

Dublin Theatre Festival 12 Sept–14 Oct The 2006 Dublin Theatre Festival is delighted to present its most eclectic programme yet featuring the best of international, cutting edge and home-grown productions. This year’s Festival includes the digital magic of Montreal-based 4D Arts award-winning La Tempête starring real actors along with holograms, provocative originality from Hungary’s Katona Theatre with Rattledanddisappeared, Obie award-winning drama The Syringa Tree, and Came So Far For Beauty - two evenings of Leonard Cohen songs featuring Nick Cave, Lou Reed, Anthony, Jarvis Cocker, Beth Orton and many more. After the success of White Star in 2005, the Festival welcomes the return of Victoria Theatre with its controversial piece Aalst, and is delighted to present world premieres of work from leading Irish companies, Druid, Rough Magic and Corn Exchange.

With something for everyone, this year is one not to be missed!
