Ireland’s dance theatre vanguards, CoisCéim Dance Theatre are back in Dún Laoghaire this summer with DANCEHALL BLUES – the award-nominated triumph from Dublin Fringe 2024! David Bolger’s “expertly ingenious” (The Irish Times) duet unfolds in a surreal dancehall at dusk, where reality and imagination blur. Two performers, Emily Kilkenny Roddy and Alex O’Neill, dance with fearless abandon, their powerful movements cutting through chaos to ignite hope in a world where dreams and nightmares collide. Bold, gripping, unmissable.

The summer sun is out, and with it comes the return of SO Fine Art Editions’ highly anticipated annual Summer Show. Celebrating the lightness of the season and the joy of discovery, this group show brings together a vibrant array of contemporary artworks, featuring fine art prints, paintings, ceramics and photography. This year, we’re delighted to welcome several new and exciting artists into the fold, joining a diverse line-up of established names and emerging talent. The exhibition presents a unique opportunity to acquire work from artists you’ve long admired, or to fall in love wit
