Twelve Cork girls take control of the airwaves in this bold DIY performance project.
Radios, resistance, and radical hope - Rebel Resistors Radio Club is broadcasting change. One frequency at a time.
As they build analogue radios, rig up antennas, and send their hopeful manifestos into the world, they ask: Where are we going? Who holds power? And how can we share space in uncertain times?
It’s playful, political, and powerfully personal - a celebration of voice, agency, and imagination.
Created by acclaimed international duo Action Hero (Gemma Paintin and James Stenhouse), RRRC is part of a growing global network amplifying young voices. With work spanning 40+ countries, Action Hero crafts transformative spaces that explore togetherness, resistance, and what it means to be human.
