Cinémorphe presents "Distant Music"

Cinémorphe presents Distant Music

Inspired by James Joyce’s short story, The Dead, Cinémorphe’s Distant Music invites you to step back in time, to Dublin at the turn of the 20th century. Experience the hopes and fears of the characters as they prepare for their grand Christmas party. Witness the dying of an epoch in a changing Dublin. Share the characters’ moving, intimate stories and explore the music, dance and politics of the day. This immersive theatre experience encourages you to inhabit the lives of the characters and, as the evening draws to a close, to celebrate with them the passing of time in the world you have created around you.

Cinémorphe is an international performance company based in Paris which consists of artists from all disciplines: actors, dancers, musicians, video and radio artists. Their last show was described by Figaroscope as ‘une soirée décapatante’.
Guests are invited, if possible, to dress or have accessories with some reference to this period.

Michael's bio is in....

Michael, who will be the next playwright to be produced by us after Quinton Cockrell's "Shot House" in July, has sent in his bio.

"Before hurricane Katrina hastened his departure from New Orleans in 2005, Michael Merino wrote much of and workshopped scenes from The Quick Brown Fox Jumped over the Lazy Dogs at the city's Contemporary Arts Center while he was on a seven-month work assignment for the Department of Defense."
