Theatre Development Centre
RIUCHI develops around a series of short circus acts in which technology, movement and theatre meet to create an innovative stage performance.
To a subtle score perpetually interrupted by spontaneous rhythm, RIUCHI employs misdirection, displays a variety of circus skills, and controls cutting-edge light and sound devices whilst transversing genres. He offers compelling moments that renew the perception of what contemporary circus acts can become, hovering deftly between juggling, comedy, dance and magic.
Admission is free!
Hope to see you there More

Born in Leitrim and now living in Dublin, Alan Early used to write and illustrate short stories about Banshees and ghost animals and whatever else struck his imagination. When he was ten, he visited Dublinia, a recreated Viking village and so began a love affair with Viking lore. 'Arthur Quinn' is set in Dublin, telling the story of Arthur who's dad is offered a job working on the new Metro tunnel. While exploring the dangerous tunnel and a hidden underground river, Arthur and his new friends Will and Ash find a mysterious glowing pendant. The pendant depicts a giant snake strangling the trunk of a tree. The friends soon figure out that the pendant is a warning, a sign that something evil is waiting underneath the city. More
