hand me down the MOONcompany Women In Space: Bairbre Ni Chaoimh and Aideen Barry
You don’t have to let go of your dreams.
In a timeless old house on Eustace Street
a ten-year old, space-obsessed girl wants
you to share in her quest to defy gravity and
journey to the stars. Voyage with her into the
past through rooms filled with photographs
and treasured objects, dramatic fragments and
stories, music, animation and film. Discover
a lost era, a time when we dared to dream big
dreams about leaving our own tiny blue planet
and venturing out into the distant cosmos.

company Beyond the Bark the bright side of the MOON
As a child, Lucy admired the evil Queen far more than the fairy princess.
Who held the keys to the kingdom? Who had everyone jump at her command? One day, Lucy would.
20 years on she has fulfilled her dream, becoming head of her department at Harper, Harper and Harperson.
All is well in her kingdom until a ghost from her childhood plunges Lucy’s world into shadow.

CULT
Five devotees wake up
in a remote barn following
their cults mass ascension.
Disorientated and confused,
they can’t understand why
they are still down here and
not “up there”. Now these
five followers without a leader,
five sheep without a shepherd,
five dimwits without a clue
must choose a new Chosen
One but can’t decide who
to choose.

in-spi-rat-ion.
Stumble upon a dark pathway, twisting and turning to
a hidden world where beautiful and unsettling creatures stir.
Manipulating and embellishing their realities, watch as each of them
creates their own universe. Bodies radiate with energy and colours
explode, drenching the space with sensory-overloaded abundance.
