**** Limited capacity**** - 25 Tickets
The dark quarter of the year is upon us, and woe be to any human still caught in the follies of toil and labour!
Put away your charts and money scales and Join the Hag of Winter, The Cailleach and her Druid sky-god consort Mogh Roith for a mind bending session of the national card game of 25s. The stakes are higher than ever; the fate of the human race and all living things lies in your hands! As always, there will be some acts of communal magic - there will be ritual boulder throwing and an anachronistic Folk-play with a timely moral message.
Come play, be confused and work some shady S.A.D magic with Spooky Beore!
We open this our sixth edition of the festival with a special event. We have invited inter-disciplinary artist duo Spooky Beore to takeover the exhibition room of the Yeats Building for a transcendent evening of ritual and magik.
Spooky Beore are a pair of art hags whose performance work involves the creation of social spaces through performance, play, radio making and acts of ritual magic. Spooky Beore is a collaborative project of artist, creative producer and performer Niamh Beirne and artist, writer and filmmaker Helen Flanagan. Since forming in 2015, Spooky Beore have made over 20 live shows and performances (since last count) including works presented at festivals like Dublin Fringe Festival and International Literary Festival Dublin and Dublin Digital Radio. A Spooky Beore social event employs improvised theatre, video, sound, games and audience participation and acts as an for the exchange of stories, dialogues and experiences. Their work seeks to close gaps between performer and audience by emphasizing the cathartic power of playful exchange.
Followed by DJ SchluchT (FREE ENTRY AFTER 9PM)
Berlin-based DJ SchluchT has interned at DIY Church for over 10 years. Known for his quirky social behavior, ghost coding, and tape looping, his work is described as "classic intuitive wrongfootedness." Outside DJing, he runs a virtual yacht club, enjoys underwater painting, and experiments with obsolete copy machines, printing the internet on them.
