The Dead House with Martin Beanz
Event Information
About this event
Nothing brings a family together on a shared march of mourning like the loss of one of their elders, and nothing reminds them of where they came from, quite like the wagons that brought them there.
The Dead House is the story of one family in the west of Ireland and the return home of a son who is alienated from their traditions after years of deliberate absence.
On the day of an Irish wake, family stories resurface that have lain dormant for years. However, the ghosts of the past brings with them the memories of trauma, loss and despair.
The Dead House is a work in progress.
Duration: Approximately 50 minutes.
For ages 16+
