Each month we create a new show arranging a new set of stories revolving around the same theme, and we perform this across four different venues in Dublin and Bray. There is an endless amount of material, so we keep finding new stories and new ways to tell the old.

Our musicians work on the score in rotation, to fine tune the moods and melody of these tales.  We create Theatre Shows as well, full scale dance theatre, shadow puppetry and more, so keep an eye out for our next one.

Retelling these tales gives us great pleasure, but the point is for you to tell them too, to keep these stories alive.
