By the collective group: I Nua

AXIS THEATRE - Sat 23rd November 2024. | 2.30pm & 7.30pm

The Dublin Riot - What Happened? Aims to capture the raw emotions and experiences from that night through a series of theatrical performances presented through promenade. Audiences will take a journey through ten different perspectives of The Riots through theatre, prose, poetry and performance. These pieces are a direct response to the riots, offering a provocative and timely reflection on this painful event.

Audience numbers are limited so booking early is essential. This event will include walking and standing for Audiences.

The riots, a boiling point in contemporary Irish society, sparked conversations amongst a group of playwrights called I Nua, who meet in the Irish Writers Centre monthly about the importance of creating and performing stories that reflect these turbulent times that will be noted in history.

These are diverse performances, including monologues, duologues, poetry, and short plays. These pieces are rooted in personal, autobiographical experiences and reactions to the riots, offering a mix of raw, intimate storytelling and broader societal reflections. The curation will ensure a dynamic and thought-provoking evening that resonates with audiences on multiple levels

Supported by the Arts Council, Axis Ballymun and Dublin City Arts Office. Co-produced by Speckintime.
