Two men, a perspex box measuring 5 feet x 10 feet and 70 minutes of stunning physical dance theatre.

Inspired by Brian Keenan’s unsettling biography of his incarceration in Beirut, the pair are trapped in a space the size of a small lift. They try to co-exist as best they can in their new home, literally climbing the walls, the roof and each other with an intense claustrophobic clarity.

Comic, tragic, graceful and absurd by turns, Fabrik Potsdam brings their multi-award winning dance piece to Cork audiences.

Wolfgang Hoffmann and Sven Till are central figures of Fabrik Potsdam and have worked together since 1988. After 15 years of partnership, this is their first duet together.

WINNER OF A FRINGE FIRST, THE TOTAL THEATRE AWARD AND HERALD ANGEL AWARD.

“Boldly dramatic, intensely moving piece …fiercest, funniest choreography you’ll see…” The Scotsman

“Wolfgang Hoffmann and Sven Till…The thinking woman’s beefcake!” The Sunday Times
