The Shape of Quiet Feelings

The Shape of Quiet Feelings will be presented in association with dlr Mill Theatre as part of the 2025 edition of Dublin Fringe Festival. Join us between the 6th and the 14th for a 20-minute theatrical installation in our studio followed by a 20-minute responsive workshop, giving story and form to something that can sometimes feel scary and intangible. Voiced and narrated entirely by children, their imagined stories and creatures take on myth-like qualities, whilst also asking the audience to connect with their own thoughts and feelings about climate change.

Commissioned by Baboró International Arts Festival for Children, supported by TRACKS co-commission fund. Presented in association with DLR Mill Theatre, Dundrum. Supported by field:arts.
