hand me down the MOONcompany Women In Space: Bairbre Ni Chaoimh and Aideen Barry

You don’t have to let go of your dreams.

In a timeless old house on Eustace Street

a ten-year old, space-obsessed girl wants

you to share in her quest to defy gravity and

journey to the stars. Voyage with her into the

past through rooms filled with photographs

and treasured objects, dramatic fragments and

stories, music, animation and film. Discover

a lost era, a time when we dared to dream big

dreams about leaving our own tiny blue planet

and venturing out into the distant cosmos.

company Beyond the Bark the bright side of the MOON

As a child, Lucy admired the evil Queen far more than the fairy princess.

Who held the keys to the kingdom? Who had everyone jump at her command? One day, Lucy would.

20 years on she has fulfilled her dream, becoming head of her department at Harper, Harper and Harperson.

All is well in her kingdom until a ghost from her childhood plunges Lucy’s world into shadow.

CULT

Five devotees wake up

in a remote barn following

their cults mass ascension.

Disorientated and confused,

they can’t understand why

they are still down here and

not “up there”. Now these

five followers without a leader,

five sheep without a shepherd,

five dimwits without a clue

must choose a new Chosen

One but can’t decide who

to choose.

in-spi-rat-ion.

Stumble upon a dark pathway, twisting and turning to

a hidden world where beautiful and unsettling creatures stir.

Manipulating and embellishing their realities, watch as each of them

creates their own universe. Bodies radiate with energy and colours

explode, drenching the space with sensory-overloaded abundance.
