Join us at Spooky Action Theatre (located in Universalist National Memorial Church: 1810 16th St NW, Washington, DC) on Friday, May 15 for a one-of-a-kind 40-minute performance for all ages 8 and up!
About the show: James Joyce’s famed “Ulysses,” an epic story of one day in one city, is brought to life in this inventive new show, bringing Ireland’s most notorious book to audiences aged 8 and upwards, and to all those who haven’t got around to reading it yet. Combining live performance, intricate paper design, an original score and Joyce’s odyssey, this is theatre that will excite both young and old.
About Branar: Based in the West of Ireland since 2001, Branar is one of Ireland’s leading theatre companies making work for children. Renowned for creating highly imaginative and beautiful work, and aiming to instill not just wildness inside us but wonder, joy, curiosity and compassion, Branar views every child in Ireland and beyond as an equal citizen of the world who should be nurtured through engagement with exceptional arts experiences.
