It draws on satellite images of ghost estates located in Ireland, and uses the skeletal remains of buildings and their relationship to the surrounding landscape to reflect an alphabet of absence.

Can’t wait to share it.

Really excited to have another piece coming out in @minorliteratures.bsky.social this week. It is a multi-form exploration Hans Holbein the Younger’s 1524 Alphabet with Dance of Death. I started to develop it on the @panpantheatre.bsky.social mentorship with @forcedents.bsky.social Terry O’Connor.

Winter almost here.

Cartoon with a person waving and another person waving with a mitten. Next panel shows that inside the mitten the person has their middle finger up.

Last two shows of KONSTANTIN at Dublin Theatre Festival.

Matinee with ISL interpretation and an evening show.

It’s been a blast. Very proud of this show.

We are sold out but I find there is always a ticket with weather and last minute returns. dublintheatrefestival.ie/event/konsta...
