Loosysmokes – the award-winning performance company at the forefront of modern Irish art circus – has created some unforgettable shows for the Festival over the years, staged everywhere from the Castle Park to Kilfane Glen, and this year we’re thrilled to welcome them back for the first time since 2018 with an astonishing new piece.
In Rhythms is both an explosive acrobatic spectacle and an expanded cinematic dreamscape exploring the human mind, where our feral past meets our neon-muddled present. Prepare to lose your grip on reality and enter a warped time and space where gravity's pull is forgotten.
Created collaboratively with Craig Cox, Imogen Macrae, Conor McCague, Oliver Ryan, Michelle Thoburn, Emily Kilkenny Roddy, Dean Kavanagh, Angelique Ross and Anja Mahler with support from Aoife Courtney and Millie Egan.
Development supported by the Gate Theatre artist-in-residency programme, Circus Factory, Cork, Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre and Island Connect.
