SPRING 2020
THEATRE
Paddy Goes to Petra
Saturday 29 February
From their first performance at the Clonmel
Junction Arts Festival 2019, they immediately
began work on a brand new piece of work for a
performance on Culture Night 2019, where they
were featured on the RTE Radio 1 arts show,
Arena and highlighted as a selected event of
the evening. The Ensemble were then invited to
be the closing act for the Z E I T 4 Electronic
Music Festival 2019 where they featured on a
bill with some of Ireland’s ‘hidden gems’ of the
experimental electronic music scene.
When Paddy's only son dies unexpectedly, his
lust for life vanishes. A trip to the ancient city of
Petra encourages him to feel a fresh wonder for
the world, develop new friendships and an
exciting love affair...with himself.
Pretending to lose his passport so he can stay
longer in the Middle East, Paddy begins a
journey of recovery and unleashes renewed
enthusiasm for living. How much time can he
really spend away from his wife, farm and
responsibilities back in Ireland, however?
Expect immersive and interactive lighting and
visuals from this new digital arts ensemble
which sees musicians, computer programmers
and audio-visual specialists working together to
bring something new and exciting to the live
performance scene. A play about survival, strength and carrying
on...
