Opening Night

A dazzling, disorienting sound-theatre experiment from award-winning composer Jane Deasy

Part concert, part cabaret, wholly haunting.

Inspired by the films of John Cassavetes, this immersive anti-spectacle surrounds the audience with custom spatialized sound, live performance, and theatrical cinematography. After each show, the room is transformed into an installation - only echoes, sonic ghosts, and flickering digital traces remain.

A surreal sensory trip through the lifecycle of performance itself.

Cork-born Jane Deasy works at the cutting edge of electroacoustic music and multimedia, blending sine tones, feedback, and sonic minimalism with striking theatricality. This marks the first hometown showing of her acclaimed work - bold, experimental, and truly unforgettable.

Supported by the Arts Council. Developed in partnership with Dublin Fringe Festival and Cork Opera House, Dublin City Council, The Complex and Unit 44. This work premiered at Dublin Fringe Festival, where it won the award for Best Overall Design.
