A Universal Story
By David Espinosa Cerdán
Following research into objects as a narrative element, David Espinosa Cerdán has tried to dramatise universal history from his own perspective, creating an audio-visual journey through some of the events that constitute the development of humanity.
This unique history class tells a brief and unfinished story, using object manipulation, choreographic actions and shadow projection to draw you into this fascinating world.

Stickman
by Darragh McLoughlin
On stage lies a man, and a stick. In the background a large flat screen TV flickers, and comes to life. The TV reads “MAN / STICK”, as if to clear up any doubt as to what is right in front of us.
This is not a story. Yet over time, as the Man and the Stick move through different forms together, a certain relationship emerges. Stick makes Man move and through this movement his body begins to speak. Then Stick speaks to us through Man.
All the while the TV tells us what to see. We don’t like being told what to see all the time, but now how can we see anything else?
Darragh McLoughlin was born in Cork and moved to Berlin to pursue what would become his circus training and career. In 2012 he founded Square Head Productions as a platform for artistic research and performance.
