Just announced: After a sold out show at The Barbican Centre London, Brú Theatre are bringing their newest work Not a Word to Project for three nights only from 11 - 13 Feb 💥 Tickets on sale now! https://bit.ly/40dSh5u Not a Word | @bru_theatre 11 - 13 Feb 🎫: €20/18 https://bit.ly/40dSh5u 𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢, 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚? Mask, music and movement combine in this new piece of physical theatre about the forgotten Irish navvies who worked hard, faltered and slowly faded from memory. Not A Word invites you to sit with a silent man on another unexceptional evening. A day’s labouring done, he plays an old tune and remembers. Brú Theatre presents Not a Word, a piece of physical theatre merging mask, music and movement in a celebration of those who took the boat — worked hard, faltered and slowly faded from memory. Performed by Raymond Keane, with live electronic and traditional music from Ultan O’Brien, Not A Word offers a moving portrait of one emigrant that echoes many people’s stories today. This ode to a self-exiled labourer, making his way in this small space between places, is directed by James Riordan with mask design by Orla Clogher.

For the final installment of our #PayItForward series, we’re honoured to share the story of the iconic Olwen Fouéré. What a woman, what a story. We’re asking people to consider donating to Project Arts Centre this Christmas, to support artists like Olwen in continuing their practice and keeping the spirit of Project and contemporary art alive in Ireland. It’s really simple to #PayItForward with as little as €5, which could buy a coffee for an artist to work in our foyer and meet other artists. €25 could buy a ticket to a show for an emerging artist or one of our community members to see a show in Project, which could open the door for them. €150 could fund a hot desk for an artist to create a space for them to work comfortably from. And for an artist like Olwen, €500 could ensure artists are paid rightly for their work, keeping pride and integrity at the forefront of their working life. Donations of €500 - €1000+, could fund the development of a brand new work for an artist, empowering them in their practice.

At Project, we pride ourselves on our artist-led ethos. Over the years we have worked with a tonne of artists from different walks of life, practices, ages and backgrounds. Each occasion leads to a new journey for us, one filled with curiosity, a willingness to learn, and admiration. We want to ensure we secure future paths for artists to walk on, that’s why we’re asking for your support this Christmas to keep art alive and artists working. We are proud to launch #PayItForward, a simple way for people to support artists to continue to create art.
