★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ‘Edge of your seat entertainment - Tense, troubling and touching - a new kind of storytelling in theatre to rival any other modern medium - It is not an overstatement to say that you will not have seen anything like this before.’
The Irish Times
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ‘Ballyturk meets Black Mirror - a scintillating assault on the senses - The meticulous attention to detail is evident across all aspects of this production - set, costume, sound and lighting design cohere to mesmerising effect. Murphy is a phenomenal talent.’
Irish Examiner
★ ★ ★ ★ ‘Think Sartre, Beckett or Enda Walsh, with more choreography. Memories of their lives prior to this mysterious co-dependency are played out in superbly inventive movement sequences - from tender duets to manic rave.’
The Guardian
If you missed the award-winning series in the theatre, now is your chance to experience it on screen. Spanning four 45-minute episodes, Volcano blurs the boundaries of television, experimental theatre, contemporary dance, and psychological sci-fi thriller to create a hybrid performance for a Netflix era.
In a liminal space, two exasperated characters recreate the greatest hits of their lives: a night at a rave, a favourite game show, an 80s music-video. They pass the time, or quietly cling to distant memories of a life out of reach. As the narrative unfolds, the deeper precarity of their circumstances come into focus, leading the audience through a fever dream of questions and upended assumptions.
As the world around them starts to shift, in Episodes 1 & 2, each character must face what they believe, what they want, and what it might cost.
