Blue Boy, The

Synopsis:
a haunting and moving piece, this highly anticipated new show has already been described as one of the theatrical highlights of 2010 following its In Development presentation at last year's Festival. With choreography from internationally renowned Eddie Kay (DV8/Frantic assembly) and original music by Sean Millar (writer of Silver Stars), the Blue Boy combines live performance and recorded interviews with multi-media and film, and gives fresh theatrical voice to recently revealed stories of childhood abuse in Ireland.

Far Side, The

Synopsis:
Contemporary art-making blends with local, personal and popular heritage in a unique and unsentimental cocktail for the here and now. Under the guidance of artist Feidlim Cannon (Brokentalkers), seven performers present a contemporary, living history exploring the social history of an Irish town through personal recollections of growing up and living there. the global and the local collide through the prism of favourite TV shows, cinema and song, celebrating a peoples' history of themselves. the performance is a real, sometimes surreal, re-presentation of stories, memories and reminiscences.

Frequency 783

Synopsis:
A bold new production from Brokentalkers which examines perspectives on health, ageing and the future from the point of view of two very different generations. On stage a teenage boy foresees his own death, while a woman in her sixties predicts that in the future robots will make better care-givers to the elderly, as they would never lose patience or become abusive.

Have I No Mouth

Synopsis:
Feidlim Cannon's Father died 12 years ago. His death could have been prevented. Have I No Mouth explores the changing nature of the relationship between Brokentalkers' director Feidlim Cannon and his Mother, Ann in the aftermath of a family tragedy. Through a mixture of therapy and ritual, Ann and Feidlim attempt to bring dead memories back to life and explore the different ways we heal ourselves after unthinkable things happen. Brokentalkers are internationally recognised for their pioneering approach to theatre. With Have I No Mouth, Brokentalkers continue to explore the world we live in with honesty, originality and humour.
