and guests

Admission EUR 5.

We are delighted to welcome you to another evening of innovative storytelling.

We invite you to forget whatever storytelling was ...
We're here to find out what it might be.
This is eye-contact theatre for the noughties:
Freestyle storytelling for young Irish urbanites of the 21st century.

Coilín, Ciarán and Gerry will be delighted to perform from our repertoires,
and then we'd like to hear what our guests have to offer.

Bring a story from your own experience.
Bring a forgotten folktale,
a modern myth,
or an urban legend.
Bring your own retelling of your favourite movie.
Bring some other kind of story that we never thought of.

Be entertained.
Be perplexed.
Be moved.
Or bemused.

But be there!

The organisers are planning another evening in about four weeks' time. Watch this space for news.

Best,
Coilín.
