Planet of the Capes

Helium Arts and CanTeen Ireland present ... Teens with superpowers!

Planet of the Capes: Interactive film and music showcase

An army of young people with extraordinary abilities are suspended in time in the Museum of Discarded Superheroes. Will they defeat dastardly ruler Ronald Thump and save the planet? Join us for the premiere of 'Planet of the Capes' created by teens from CanTeen Ireland, the national young people's cancer support group, in collaboration with professional artists.

Featuring

• Live music by Seán Carpio with CanTeen Ireland
  Hailed as 'maybe the finest drummer ever produced here' by The Irish Times, musician & composer Seán Carpio will perform a live event soundtrack with CanTeen members.

• Companion films by Louise Manifold with writer and poet Ben Murnane and Seán Carpio inspired by Planet of the Capes and the imagination of the young people.

• Superhero activities with artist Siobhán Clancy - If you're thinking a transformation station, a superhero selfie booth, super cool visuals and surprises galore, you would be on the right track!

FREE event but booking essential! Family-friendly fun with recommended age 7+
