Lords of Strut “Sell Out Tour”
Thursday 8pm
Siamsa Tíre
The Lords of Strut present their new theatre show “Sell Out Tour.” Rocking acrobatics and kick ass dance routines, even their own range of Man Beauty Products ! Absurd and surreal comedy from Ireland’s hardest working man-band.
Two brothers, Famous Seamus and Sean-tastic, bonded by the technicolour illusion of their own celebrity. Scarred by their twisted family relationship. Sometimes all that’s left to do is to dance! They are cocky, they are clueless, and they are delightfully good at it!
Leandre Ribera “Chez Leandre” – Irish Premier
Friday 9pm
Siamsa Tíre
Leandre Ribera has participated in the world of street theatre festivals for 13 years. In previous shows he tripped over the fine line that separates humour and poetry, discovered drama and public interaction and finally entered the almost forgotten history of traditional clownery. A beautiful, moving family show, Leandre is a clown and the stage his home. You’re invited to come in and to play a curious game with him. Come to the Irish Premiere of this delightful visual theatre piece created and performed by one of Europe’s top clowns, Leandre. The Catalonian-based Leandre performs a hapless, homeless person in a show that entertains audiences of all ages.
