Barbarian

Barbarian is a new theatre/movement work from Bob Kelly, Diarmuid Armstrong and Hannah Rogerson.

Loosely inspired by John McGahern’s memoirs, it follows two children raised in a Garda barracks by their overbearing father – now grown into guards themselves, they return to relive, remember and grieve. Shifting fluidly between past and present, adult and child, Barbarian blends physical theatre and dance to excavate the inherited wounds of power, authority and masculinity.

Developed through Cairde Sligo Arts Festival and The Hawk’s Well Theatre, the piece has drawn packed, emotionally-engaged audiences at both work-in-progress showings.
