Dir. robin campillo france, 2017, 143 min
Early 1990s, Paris - activists with the ACT UP group are
leading the campaign for greater action to deal with the
AIDS epidemic. ACT UP’s methods sometimes prove
controversial, but for many of those involved this is a
life-and-death fight. One such activist is Sean, a young
radical who strikes up a relationship with newcomer Nathan.
Based on writer-director Robin Campillo's own experiences, 120 BPM overflows with
passion. It is a vivid account of an often neglected chapter in modern history, and
focuses on a struggle that still feels urgent. Campillo recreating ACT UP’s intense
struggle, never forgetting the often-devastating human stories behind the politics.

the nutcracker
Saturday 01 December

It’s Christmas Eve. A marvellous party is taking
place where the mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer
brings gifts for all the children. When midnight
strikes, very strange things start to happen…the
Christmas tree grows to incredible heights and
Clara’s magical Christmas gift, her Nutcracker,
leads them into a fairy-tale world.
With her heroic Nutcracker at her side, Clara
defeats the Mouse King and his army of mice, and
they journey to the Land of Snow and the
Kingdom of Sweets together.
This Irish production of the festive classic, performed by an international cast of
world-class dancers, appeals to audiences of all ages with its fairy-tale magic,
beautiful costumes and Tchaikovsky’s beloved & sumptuous score.
