Smock Alley Theatre, Thursday 24th October - Saturday 26th October

Grey Matter – ballet project[d] presents two new and original works choreographed by Lauren Speirs at Smock Alley Theatre.

“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives” – Jane Austen, Persuasion. An abstract look at how our world shapes us. An exploration of the grey area between negative and positive persuasion.

Rational Creatures and Ensnared (Choreography collaboration with Fiona Kania) feature six professional female ballet dancers and music by Sergei Rachmaninoff, Zoe Keating, and Max Richter. Rational Creatures explores the topic from a more classical, storytelling point of view while Ensnared examines persuasion from a more abstract, contemporary vantage.

CHOP

Axis Ballymun

Prepare for CHOP, a dangerously funny, wildly absurd theatre performance written and performed by Cian Kinsella (Lords of Strut). This high-energy one-man show dives into fragile masculinity, social satire, and environmental collapse with sharp humour and physical wit that keeps audiences buzzing long after the curtain falls. CHOP blends comedy and chaos with theatrical playfulness, creating a performance that’s unpredictable, thought-provoking, and unapologetically entertaining. Driven by Kinsella’s dynamic stage presence, the piece pushes boundaries and invites audiences into its absu
