About the production

Aoife confronts the city’s escalating crime rate, observing that behind each stark statistic is a violated victim; Mick compels us to face prejudices which existed long before the advent of a multicultural Ireland while, Glen, our philosophic DJ hits the decks pumping out universal sounds that transcend language barriers. His motto? Like Madonna’s: “Music makes the people come together”. Fionnuala takes us on a real time video trip on the DART ringing in the changes of an ever-sprawling city, while Shane gets a dose of the Big Brother treatment on the CCTVs that grace every street corner – this world of silent observation only serves to highlight that loneliness looms larger than before – love across a crowded room usurped by love over a security monitor. Patrick has a hilarious take on misunderstandings and misinterpretations on a sofa, Paul celebrates his 18th birthday during the run of the production and Kevin and Fiona just wanna dance! When urban redevelopment is king and chaos reigns what else is there to do?
