Headlining a season of physical theatre at the heart of this year’s programme, the groundbreaking DV8, one of the world’s leading companies, make a long overdue return to Dublin with the provocative, exhilarating and courageous To Be Straight With You.
Featuring an exceptionally strong multi-ethnic cast, this poetic but unflinching exploration of tolerance, intolerance, religion and sexuality incorporates dance, text, documentary, film and animated projections to create a unique and startling piece of theatre. Based on 85 interviews, with many people who cannot express their views openly for fear of social or physical reprisal, this hard hitting and exciting visionary work demonstrates how twenty years on, DV8 still refuses to be defined.
Led by the renowned director/choreographer Lloyd Newson, DV8 Physical Theatre - winner of sixteen awards over the last four years including a Prix Italia and the Rose D’Or - return to Dublin following a hugely successful international tour and 3 week sell out run at the National Theatre in London.
