Information
This show is part of Dublin Fringe Festival’s Home Ground community takeover performances initiative, facilitating artists to co-create safe, celebratory audience spaces for the communities their work represents. This show deals with themes around class, migration, queerness, as well as the different ways in which these identities intersect and afford opportunities for activist solidarity. The performance on the 10th September at 20:00 is primarily for members of Working Class, migrant, and queer communities (although no-one is excluded from attending).
Venue is wheelchair accessible, please contact our box office at the time of booking.
