The Brotherhood TRILOGIA CADELA FORÇA – Capítulo II
It’s hard to imagine a show about patriarchal violence this inspiring – but trust us, you will leave the theatre punching the air and utterly invigorated.
Carolina Bianchi Y Cara De Cavalo
Carolina Bianchi is internationally acclaimed for her powerful stage presence and brutal eloquence. With The Brotherhood, Bianchi explores masculinity as a brotherhood that renders men untouchable, part of a system that perpetuates violence against women, yet still provokes admiration in art history.
She uses the theatre world as subject, language, and apparatus, exposing the faux progressivism that gives intellectual masculinity free rein as an exclusionary mechanism. The play portrays an aversion to, but also fascination with male power dynamics, and how to navigate them as a woman.

Let Me In
Esosa Ighodaro has a vision. It behooves us all to pay close attention to this allegorical reading of a story we all know, told anew.
Esosa Ighodaro/Dublin Municiple Theatre
Written and Directed by Esosa Ighodaro
Lola is a firefighter – in every part of her life. The city is on fire and Lola needs rest, but it’s almost Seán’s birthday and his friends are coming over.
Let Me In is a new play by Esosa Ighodaro set in contemporary Ireland – where welcome is offered but belonging is negotiated daily. Told through warmth and humour, with a creeping sense of inevitability.
It’s a comedy.
It’s a romance.
It’s a fairy tale.
It’s a tragedy.

Without Distinction of Sex
The unresolved tension between the female body and the Irish state is brought alive in this new work by Veronica Coburn with a propellor energy that requires witness.
Once Off Productions & Draíocht Blanchardstown
Concept, Text & Direction Veronica Coburn
In 1922, Ireland’s first Constitution promised liberty “without distinction of sex.” Fifteen years later, Bunreacht na hÉireann betrayed that promise. Article 41 reduced women to domestic and reproductive roles, erasing unmarried, queer, trans and non-conforming lives while legitimising a culture of exclusion and silence that has suffocated generations of Irish women. This legacy still shapes Ireland today. Blending spoken text, choral song, dance by sean nós and contemporary dancer Sibéal Davitt, an original score / sound design by Sinéad Diskin and the voice of a powerful chorus, Veronica Coburn creates an urgent theatrical reckoning with gender, power and the unfinished fight for equality.

4:48 Psychosis
A new take on a theatrical text that still blisters the senses and scorches the heart, performed by one of Ireland’s greatest actors, in intimate surroundings.
Once Off Productions
Written by Sarah Kane and Directed by Tom Creed
Radical, intimate and darkly funny, 4.48 Psychosis remains “a work of extraordinary beauty” (The New York Times) — confronting despair, lucidity, survival and death with devastating clarity. Director Tom Creed and performer Marty Rea bring extraordinary precision and emotional intensity to one of the most influential plays of the last thirty years, in a rare opportunity for Irish audiences to encounter the work of one of the most challenging and controversial playwrights of the 20th century.

TANZ
Bloody, bold, and thrilling, do not miss this enfant-terrible of the international theatre scene’s Dublin debut.
Florentina Holzinger
TANZ takes early nineteenth century Romantic ballet as its starting point. The work unfolds within the framework of a ballet class guided by Claire Philippart, where the performers undergo rigorous training in Action Ballet. Through this process, they learn to use their skills within a spectacular genre and acquire knowledge about flying. Featuring an all-female cast ranging from thirty to seventy years of age and from diverse dance backgrounds, TANZ explores what it means to “dance the lineage” and how one might reconcile with tradition and it’s relationship to beauty.
