West Meath Gothic

Wed, 16 Sep - Sat, 19 Sep

About

A one-horse town with a one-channel TV. A dilapidated farmhouse in the bowels of rural Ireland. A radio crackles in a dark space. A flash of fur and heels passes  through the halls. A broken home. A thwarted inheritance. One locked room. The grey house groans unhappily. You’re welcome inside West Meath…

A one-horse town with a one-channel TV.
A dilapidated farmhouse in the bowels of rural Ireland.
A radio crackles in a dark space.
A flash of fur and heels passes  through the halls.
A broken home. A thwarted inheritance.
One locked room. The grey house groans unhappily.

You’re welcome inside West Meath Gothic.

A deliciously dark fever dream, a shadowy celebration of rural life, a multidisciplinary show blending mesmerising aerial dance and visceral physical theatre, pulsing under an original electronic score.
