| Event Name: | At Swim Two Boys |
| Description: | Earthfall presents
To coincide with the 10th anniversary of the same title novel by Jamie O'Neill, Earthfall revive their award-winning production with a UK wide tour.
The story is set before and during the Easter Risings in 1916. This was the beginning of the Irish Revolution which eventually led to the forming of the new Irish Republic and Northern Ireland as we know it today. The production is set in Dublin where the Easter Rising took place. The two boys grew up as friends and would meet to swim in the sea, which was one of the only times they could truly be together.
Staged entirely in water and set in Ireland in 1916 the work juxtaposes the developing love affair between two young men with political turmoil in Ireland and the slaughter on the Western Front - contrasting the dream of national liberation and the search for personal freedom. The production is staged in a slowly filling lake in front of a waterfall with episodes from the book woven together through a fusion of extreme physicality, original live music and film. |
