Human Herd
This is a video recording of the non–verbal theatre production. Five actors depict a time before human language existed. The show involves physical theatre combined with visuals. Written and produced by Anka Wysota, the piece features performances by Alberto Albertino, Ita Fiztmahony, Linda Teehan, Paul Nolan and Keith Ward. The show was supported by the Arts Council of Ireland.
(…)a production that does away with dialogue entirely (…) the bare stage became a laboratory in which the interactions of a small primitive community of people without the power of language were observed by an audience (…) well directed by Wysota, instilling in her actors a precision of movement that helped the audience clearly read the action (…) all the actors displayed wonderful physical virtuosity throughout. Nolan and Ward in particular, shone in their roles (…) an intense and engaging experience (…) the puzzling and beautiful images created by the actors ' bodies that linger in the mind long after the event—Ian R. Walsh, (Irish Theatre Magazine).

A playful experiment in sound, A Sliver of Voice combines a multi–lingual performance with haunting Baroque melodies, Tibetian chanting and poetry to explore the boundaries of music, poetry and physical theatre.

Muto by Blu
Blu is a street artist from Argentina. He's taken graffiti to a whole new level, creating animations on walls and sidewalks. His latest animation is Muto and is both a technical tour–de–force and an eye–opening, creepy animation. Not only did he work in the less–than–ideal environment of the sidewalk, but this also meant that he couln't have more than one frame in existence at a time and there was no possibility of reworking old frames or sketching out new ones. Once each frame was shot, the work was destroyed— Amazing!
