Paraic Leahy | Lucy Sheridan | Marcel Vidal Monster Truck are pleased to present imposing nature, with Paraic Leahy, Lucy Sheridan and Marcel Vidal, three artists who draw on the natural world in their practices to tease out ideas relating to how humans interact with and frame nature, as viewer, master, co-dependent.

Returning to this year's Festival with the Spirit of the Fringe 2009 award for Who is Fergus Kilpatrick?, The Company are back to delve into Joyce's seminal work and ask – where are you in this story? Join us as we rediscover what it means to be Irish. By the way, we haven't read Ulysses either… yet.

Who will tell the story of your life long after you are gone? Sorcha Kenny believes her dresses will. Sparked by her fascination for second-hand and vintage garments, she has embarked on an ongoing 'dress quest' to uncover the real life stories behind the dresses lingering in wardrobes all over the country. Like photographs, they are mementos of a treasured past.

Join Sorcha as she introduces you to the generations of men and women whose stories unfold between the fabric and the thread. Expect laughter, tears and nostalgia in this sartorial expedition. The walls can't talk but the dresses sure can.

Part of ABSOLUT Fringe

SIREN'S interpretation of this timeless classic presents it as a contemporary domestic drama - a shockingly modern story of a man and a woman caught in the nets of jealously and destructive love. Blurring the boundaries between theatre and live installation, public and private lives and what is seen and unseen, this classic tale resonates as much today as it did thousands of years ago.

Love happy, money happy, beauty happy, friends happy, sports happy, McDonald's happy… Fuck My Life. What's it really like being a teenager today? And how on earth do you become a happy one? What drives teenagers to profound sadness or extreme violence?

Ireland has one of the highest teen suicide rates in Europe. Why is this? FML casts a spotlight on the lives of 15 young Corkonians in this blend of spoken word and film, true confessions and lies.

Who is the funniest, most beautiful, most dangerous? Who will fall by the wayside? Who won't live to see twenty? Who needs help? For everyone who has ever been a teenager.

Like nothing you have ever seen before, this re-imagining of a killer's crimes bristles with savage brutality and horrifying violence. It is invariably strange and sombre, poetic and captivating.

We don't say this lightly: jerk will leave you stunned and shaken at the gruesome visual world you create around this deceptively stark set. Based on cult author Dennis Cooper's novella of the same name.

Matthew P. Morris in My Body Travels explores a new adventure. He's hitching his heels high and daring to redress his first solo piece. A 'he' who transforms to 'she' in order to walk the wild side of a lopsided reality of assumed identity, he's treading bare a silent world of desirable loneliness before finally surrendering to the natural order of serenity. A cycle of events; moments in time unravel unexpectedly to reveal where paths cross and people change our lives, often unsettling the ground beneath us. Shake it like a milkshake, moves that'll groove … all creamy and dreamy. A song might be sung. The dance will be danced. And please for a moment let there be quiet...

There's a hole in my heart that goes all the way back to China mines the mysterious caverns of the human heart, this is an extraordinary live art multimedia piece. Combining visuals, movement and text, it is made up of many parts about holes that ultimately leaves one feeling whole. Carl Jung said, "I would rather be whole than be good".

A work that digs down deep into the depths of loneliness and shame, but even in its darkest moments, the canary still sings.

Jackie Daly, accordion

Matt Cranitch, fiddle
John Faulkner, guitar, bouzouki, vocals

In ancient folklore, three is a magic number, and you can expect the combined talents of Jackie Daly, Matt Cranitch and John Faulkner to let loose the Sliabh Luachra genie from the bottle. There's clearly some 'draíocht' in the waters of the upper Blackwater as this mountainous region on the borders of northwest Cork and east Kerry is renowned for its unique repertoire of slides and polkas as well as its very distinctive style of playing.

Though Jackie and Matt are both steeped in the rich musical traditions of the Sliabh Luachra, this collaboration with singer John Faulkner is very much a celebration of the here and now, the "living stream" of Irish music. An acclaimed songwriter and composer, John is a heartfelt performer who has traded lines with the likes of Ewan MacColl, Dolores Keane, Arty McGlynn and John Prine. Button accordion wizard Jackie needs little introduction to trad fans, and his work with legendary groups such as De Danann, Patrick Street, Arcady and Kinvara is testament to his versatility. Former Fleadh Cheoil winner and master fiddler Matt Cranitch is a founder member of the group Sliabh Notes, as well as a highly respected authority on and teacher of Irish traditional music.

My Husband is a Spaceman, a multi-media solo show, this is the third part of an absorbing trilogy from an incredible live artist.

A Japanese office lady is content with her single lifestyle until she encounters Robin, an English University fellow, in Tokyo. They fall in love, get married, and move to England. But married life is not what Robin expects and the eccentric Englishman takes to locking himself in a room upstairs every night.

Derived from an old Japanese folk tale of love between a peasant and a crane, this is a love story loosely based on Kazuko's experience of a cross-cultural relationship, loneliness and how to survive it. One of the most personal and affecting performers you are ever likely to see.

HANG ON
Performed by two outstanding dancers, this powerful show takes place on the ground and in the air. Staged to original live music and video art, it is highly physical, often raw, sometimes sensual and always real. Fidget Feet are doing what they do best – fusing gravity-defying aerial circus skills with dance.

PARADISE DANCE HALL
It ends with a mysterious bruise, a longdistance dance, and a swallow tattoo to guide you. It starts with the people you haunt, and the traces of those who left without explanation. It's a live performance, with under-thecounter true stories. It's a blind date, with music to fill those awkward silences. It's dance for people who don't like dance. It's a guilty pleasure. It will not be sentimental, but it might be beautiful. It could get a bit x-rated. There may even be a slow-set. But whatever happens, you will not go home alone.

A dark tale of small-town solidarity. Majority rules and a close-knit community turns on one of its own. This is Listowel Syndrome - in a small town you can't afford to make enemies and actions do have consequences. Reflecting on a recent case that saw a large number of people express their solidarity for a convicted man through a wordless gesture, it brings to mind a Faustian pact. Told through dance, text, song and live music, this is a fable told for any town at any time.

Life, say Fitzgerald & Stapleton, is both absurd and alluring, a grotesque practical joke constantly pulling away chairs from under dignity and reason. Their delight in the details of human existence struggles with their conviction of its futility. Nothing is sane, reality is a hall of distorting mirrors reflecting the grimness of our own pretensions.

Love triangles, debt, murder plots and a lot of old blarney. When Hardress Cregan's family falls on hard times, only his marriage to a wealthy heiress, Anne Chute, can save it from ruin. But there's a snag – Hardress is already secretly married to the beautiful, and not so wealthy, Eily O'Connor; and Anne is in love with someone else, Hardress' best friend Kyrle. Will love win over money? Will a murderous plot succeed? And can they all live happily ever after? This classic Irish tale of The Colleen Bawn is brought vividly to life in this lively and entertaining production from director Jimmy Fay (Playboy of the Western World, Ross O'Carroll Kelly: Last Days of the Celtic Tiger).

565+ is about survival. There comes a time in all our lives when we look for help, when we reach crisis, when we will try anything that helps. For some it is therapy, for others it is medication. For Marie O'Rourke it is the theatre.

Marie O'Rourke is a school teacher who began attending the theatre seven years ago on the advice of her doctor. Since then she has seen over 565 plays. Marie credits the theatre with saving her life.

Mrs C wants a baby not a Christmas tree.  B wants a real hairdressers' scissors and a wife. D wants a snow globe and "a big head of dirty auld curls".  All of them want their own place in the world.  And if they can't find it, they'll create one of their own… 

Join B and D in the care home where they are residents, and where Mrs C is a carer, on their special – "very fecking special" - journey towards happiness.  

A world première, presented by the Abbey Theatre, B for Baby is a sharp-witted new play that tenderly touches the taboo and invites you to rediscover the joy of make believe.

Following a triumphant international tour including a sell-out run in Edinburgh, CIRCA comes to the Festival amidst a blaze of rave reviews and international public acclaim.

A brand new creation that remixes three previous works which have wowed audiences at Galway Arts Festival in recent years, CIRCA is movement at its most adventurous and dangerous. Combining acrobatics, dance, light, sound and video, seven performers move from highly complex tumbling sequences, to fast-paced flashes of great intricacy. Using a powerful soundtrack ranging from Leonard Cohen to Aphex Twin, this marks a new kind of circus, at once poetic, sensual and immense.

Breathless and breathtaking – prepare to be astounded!

Supported by the Improvised Music Company Regional Touring Scheme There is nothing to beat the rhythmic drive and sheer power of a jazz big band. Founded in 2007, the Orchestra was set up initially to enable students at the Ballymun Wind Project to see and hear what a big band would look like, as an encouragement to them in their music studies. After a performance at Electric Picnic in 2008 and residencies in the Button Factory, the group has gone from strength to strength and this year alone they have appeared twice on the Late Late Show on RTE with singers Mary Coughlan and Jerry Fish.

The timeless story of Phaedra's dark obsession with her stepson is placed in a contemporary Ireland that has become a fertile playing field for the capricious gods.  Racine's masterpiece of the French theatre - itself drawn from Euripides - and themes from the baroque score of Rameau's operatic response to this mythic tale, have provided the springboard for a dynamic collaboration between writer Hilary Fannin and composer/musician Ellen Cranitch.

Through Fannin's scathing humour, Rough Magic's powerful production explores the extremities of passion, and the psychology of a doomed family in its attempts to outwit fate. The music is performed live by an ensemble of Ireland's leading musicians, under the inspired direction of Ellen Cranitch.
