At CTC Studio, Triskel Arts Centre:
Emily Terndrup
these gentle beings unhappy
13 June 9pm
A gut-punching reimagining of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein from director and choreographer Emily Terndrup. Fusing dance, theatre, and visual storytelling, this collision of artforms confronts the thrill and terror of creation – in life, in art and in the body. Boldly physical and darkly funny, this unflinching dissection of a classic tale exposes our very modern fears about consequence and control.
Supported by Dance Cork Firkin Crane, The Everyman, and Cork County Arts Office. Please note these sharings may be unsuitable for children.
Ró Stack
MatreSCENE
The messy play of motherhood
15 June 6pm
Inspired by the concept of matrescence (the social, environmental, political, and biological transformation of becoming a mother), three mother-artists – Ró Stack, Siobhán Donnellan, and Caroline Lynch – explore the transformation of becoming a mother, through the lens of performance. Inspired by the concept of matrescence, MatreSCENE is a search for new rituals and new ways of seeing ourselves.
Directed by Annie Ryan
Produced by Mags Keohane
Cara Christie
Capture
20 June 5pm
A darkly compelling exploration of online stalking and digital obsession inspired by real cases. Shannon is a journalist making her first true crime podcast - but as the story pulls her deeper, she’s forced to question how far she’s willing to go for the truth. Exploring theatre, podcasting, and sound design, Capture delves into voice, obsession and identity theft.
Written by Cara Christie
Directed by John Doran
Supported by The Arts Council, The Pavilion Theatre, Cork Theatre Collective and Fringe Lab.
Andrea Stolowitz Theatre Projects
Numbered Be Our Days
21 June 5pm
In 2016, headlines claimed there were no Jews left in Cork. It wasn’t true. Using the real words of Cork’s Jewish community – and those who live alongside them – playwright Andrea Stolowitz and her team weave a portrait of history, identity and belonging. Numbered Be Our Days is a new play about what it means to hold on to who you are, and who you’ve been, in a changing world.
In association with Cyclone Repertory Theatre.
Supported by Fishamble's New Play Clinic, The Literary and New Work Department at The Abbey Theatre, The Arts Council, and Venturous Theatre Fund of the Tides Foundation.
Directed by Donal Gallagher (Asylum Productions)
Performed by an ensemble of award-winning local actors

Voices From The Inside
Wrk in progress at The Everyman
18 June 7pm
A new play giving voice to those inside Cork Prison - and to the families left outside. Based on real conversations with students in the prison’s Education Unit, Voices From The Inside tells the stories of three men at the start of their sentences, exploring isolation, identity and the long reach of incarceration.
Supported by Cork ETB, Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Irish Prison Service, Cork City Partnership, Tomar and Cork Theatre Collective
