Spréacha Soar Festival for Children & Young People

This event has ended

Draíocht, Monday 11th March - Saturday 16th March

Draíocht is delighted to deliver the Spréacha Soar Festival for Children & Young People, an exciting week of 23 brand new shows inspired by young people from Dublin 15, aged just days old to 22 years old, the culmination of months of work and our project NEST.

NEST is a visionary, artistically ambitious project of scale, brought to life through collaboration with 23 leading multi-disciplinary artists – playwrights, theatre makers, spoken word artists, dance artists, and music artists – who will produce 23 new contemporary works that map our present through the eyes of our children and young people.

Led by Artistic Director, Veronica Coburn, NEST's new pieces of work will first be performed in homes and schools across Dublin 15, on the 1st of March 2024 to the children’s peer audiences. Then the shows return to Draíocht for one week as part of the much anticipated Spréacha Soar Festival for Children & Young People, when the public and wider community can enjoy these new creations.
