Unaccompanied
NB: The duration of Unaccompanied is approximately 60 minutes (35-40 minutes in journey time by DublinBus to deAppendix, Ardagh Grove, Blackrock, Dublin, during which you are invited to listen to the audio portion of the artwork, followed by a live one-to-one performance of 20-25 minutes).
When ‘home’ is a feeling more than a place that can be returned to, how do we cope when we are disconnected from it? Unaccompanied is a one-on-one performance in deAppendix studio, which is co-located with a GP surgery in the suburbs, Ardagh Grove, Blackrock, Dublin. Appointments are available during regular surgery hours only.
Beginning in the city, you will be given an audio file to listen to over the course of your journey by DublinBus to the performance, which you must make alone. Unaccompanied is an intimate performance and a confidential exchange that offers space to empower audiences. By the end you will know what you need to be at home.
Instructions: Meet at the 145 / 46A bus stop on D’olier Street where you will be given your mp3 and travel ticket. After the performance, you must return these items to the festival representative in the city.
Note: if you wish to make alternative travel arrangements to the live one-on-one performance, please make sure you communicate this when booking your appointment. Or if you are not confident in finding your way to the meeting point then arrive at Project Arts Centre 15 minutes early, please request this when booking your appointment.
