“The camp is the space that is opened when the state of exception begins to become the rule” Giorgio Agamben, Philosopher

Inspired by the experience of making work with refugees and asylum seekers in Direct Provision, State of Exception is a powerful and raw multi-cultural interplay of dance, music and text. Featuring a cast of outstanding Irish and international performers this compelling and original dance work delves into the world of asylum seekers to understand, to connect, to challenge and tear down the walls and borders that divide us, finding home in the common that binds us all.

Catherine Young has been making and touring work to critical acclaim since 2011, creating powerful, percussive, physical, primal work that shows all shades of the human condition – its grit, edge, truth, honesty and beauty.

“This is Irish dance making at its best; political, urgent and intelligent.. go see it.” – RTÉ

Proudly funded by The Arts Council, supported by Backstage Theatre, Shawbrook, Siamsa Tire, Kerry County Council, Dance Limerick, Creative Ireland, Town Hall Theatre, Firkin Crane, glór, Pavilion Theatre and Lime Tree Theatre.

Cork City Dance Artists in Residence at Firkin Crane present a scratched together night of live performance, drinks and chat to bring us into the warmer days of Spring.

Scratch Night is a gathering for Cork artists and enthusiasts and a special opportunity to show informal presentations of movement and impromptu performances. The night is a celebration of artists taking risks in a safe, easy space and an opportunity to meet and drink with friends, colleagues and strangers.

All are welcome (16+) to participate on the night – just let us know if you are planning to get up on the night by sending an email to Andrea at dance@firkincrane.ie to give us an idea of numbers.
