Fruiting Futures
An immersive installation grown from waste, care, and connection, inviting audiences to step inside a space shaped by renewal and possibility.
Free
This is no ordinary performance.
It’s a dance party. A vocal happening. A full-body celebration of LGBTQI+++ resilience and radical joy.
We said, “Find your voice, feel internal rhythm, and move like you mean it!”
Led by artist and UCC Head of Theatre Yvon Bonenfant, and featuring the work of Cork’s own drag icon Candy Warhol - this groundbreaking work merges voice, body, and sound into a defiant and euphoric experience that’s bold, inclusive, and gloriously alive.
Step into a high-energy, immersive world where choral soundscapes meet electronic beats. Performers - professional and community alike - blur the lines between stage and celebration. Pulsing rhythms, vivid vocals, and an explosion of movement in a space that uplifts identity, queerness, and collective expression.
Supported by the Arts Council and UCC Granary Theatre.
Relaxed Environment Full Information
We aim to make this show as accessible as possible. While this is not a typical Relaxed Performance, we have included a number of relaxed elements to support a wide range of audience needs:
- Trained Ushers are available before the performance to help prepare and support you in a warm, inclusive, and relaxed environment.
- A touch tour is available on Sunday at 3.30pm. The Touch Tour is a 30 minute free pre-show experience designed to support blind, visually impaired, and neurodivergent audience members with an introduction to the space and key elements of the show.
- A quiet chill-out space is available nearby for anyone who needs a break, or a quiet place to wait before showtime. Please make your request to an usher.
- This is a vocal project, so please note there will be sudden loud noises and longer duration, louder sound.
- Some house lights will remain partially on, so the space is never completely dark.
- There is NO strobe lighting, though sudden lighting effects may occur.
- Audience members are welcome to move, make sound with the group, or leave and return at any time.
