5 WTAF!? Performances You Won't Want to Miss
Running from the 20-29 July in Galway, the alternative fringe festival will see an incredible line-up of drag, film, theatre, music and visual arts – with most tickets priced at €20 and under.
We’ve rounded up five fabulous performances that are on this week that will be well worth the watch.
Part(s) (W)hole
At Massimo Bar on 21-22nd July, experience a genre-bending choreopoem by three friends exploring memory and what it means to put the past back together.
Dancer Al Cunningham, musician Amelian Donegan and writer Emer Lyons layer media to create the ultimate story about queer childhood, family, shame, sexuality and joy.
€10, available on WTAF!?’s website.
Downriver
Downriver is an emotive art installation by artist Robin Quinn, exploring gender identity and the transience of nature.
While it's not a live performance, the exhibition incorporates film, sound, and sculptural elements to create a wholly immersive and moving experience. See it at Áras Na NGael, 22-27th July.
From €6, available on WTAF!?’s website.
The Buss Stop
Niche local celebrity Minnie Buss is bringing her groundbreaking chat show to the WTAF!? stage at Massimo Bar on 23 July.
Prepare for a night of drag performances, interviews, special guests, cabaret and more. Tickets are selling fast, so grab them while you still can!
€12, available on WTAF!?’s website.
Java Light
If you love being the first among your friends to discover upcoming Irish talent, book yourself a ticket to Java Light.
The alternative indie-rock band only formed on Valentine’s Day last year but already have a strong presence and a great sound, and are sure to be rising up the Irish music ranks in no time.
Catch them on 24th July at The Blue Note.
€5, available on WTAF!?’s website.
Still Chaos
Theatre and arts collective An Cladach Collective are bringing a bold, experimental and unapologetic live performance to the WestEnd Art Collective from 27-29th July.
Their show Still Chaos gives an art class model a voice. While her body is still, the audience will hear the constant internal movement and chaos within her body and mind.
This performance blends live, unrehearsed action with voiceover that guarantees an authentic (and perhaps a little unsettling!) experience.
€12, available on WTAF!?’s website.
