Custom House Quay, Friday 24th May

Down by the River Liffey, Amal is moved by the stories of Irish immigration, as she walks Custom House Quay, the Famine Memorial and the Poverty Stone. She thinks of the millions of Irish who sought refuge, escaped from hunger and had no choice but to put their hope in a far away land and its people. With each step of the journey, Jiggy's infectious energy and sounds transport audiences into a realm where music intertwines with the magic of storytelling.  Jiggy's vibrant world rhythms and Irish melodies serve as a soul-stirring backdrop to Amal's trip through our country’s memories.

Special thanks to The Department of Housing, and the EPIC Museum

The Last Man in Ireland

Smock Alley Theatre

For reasons currently unknown, rising sea levels have inexplicably affected Ireland and Ireland only, reducing the island to one small indistinct piece of land owned by one remaining Irish civilian. The Last Man in Ireland is a comedic three-hander that explores the cyclical themes of family dysfunction and grief as it uses the lens of millennial angst to delve into the past and present the story of an imagined future.
