THE WALLPAPER ¦ SCENE + HEARD FESTIVAL
MARCH 3-4 2017 ¦ Smock Alley Theatre Dublin.
"BEHIND GODLEN WALLS, SHE CALLS."
Combining dance and theatre, the piece deals with the perception of “madness” and plays with the fine line between reality and hallucination.
The Wallpaper explores the feeling of seclusion through myths and stories, such as Charlotte Perkins' The Yellow Wallpaper, the Greek Myth of Ariadne and the Blue Beard legend.
Characters who seemed to have escaped from their own tales are drawn to one another by their experience of confinement.
Dates: 6:30 PM Friday 3rd & 4 PM and 6:30 PM Saturday 4th March 2017
Running time : 30 mins
Venue : Main Space - Smock Alley
