Sightless Cinema Network presents Dog’s Life
An evening of audio plays in the dark-
‘Spectacular performance…. a thoroughly immersive experience’ - Meath Chronicle on Sightless Cinema
Following two recent successful shows by Sightless Cinema Laois at Dunamaise, the company return with a new show. Dog’s Life is a programme of audio shorts in collaboration with Sightless Cinema Network, including
‘Open Fire’, a comedy set during a week-long electricity black-out after a storm, where Nora, the only one in the district with hot water, gets a string of unwelcome visitors, and one she might like to stay.
The immersive surround sound audio plays are a feast for the imagination - because all the pictures are in your head. Optional blindfolds are provided to help bring you into the world of Sightless Cinema.
The programme also includes ‘A Dog’s Life’ which lets us hear the voices of a litter of guide dog pups in training, taking their final guide dog test course. Chewy slippers, BBQ smells, and a crazed cat threaten to tempt them off course-but who will pass and who will fail?
‘The Devil’s Sliotar’ is a fun folk horror about a village desperate to lift the curse and win the county hurling final at last.
The evening will also feature some live audio dramas performed on stage by members of the Sightless Cinema Network from three counties.
