RAPIDS Presented by Talking Shop Ensemble

Talking Shop Ensemble and Shaun Dunne return with Rapids; their smash hit show that looks to playfully and respectfully make the private public. It explores instances of disclosure and the presence of stigma in the lives of men and women who are HIV+ in Ireland today.

The company have collaborated with several groups from the HIV+ community, from young men in rural Ireland to migrant women seeking asylum. This form-flipping piece of documentary theatre will take you through the myriad of perspectives and experiences that compound what it means to live positive in this country.

Produced in association with Project Arts Centre and funded through an Arts Council Touring Grant. This project is supported by HIV Ireland, ACT UP Dublin and Mermaid Arts Centre.
