*****
A special preview performance ahead of the show’s Dublin Fringe Festival run, 18–20 September.
Welcome to Yin Yoga class. Breathe out. You are gently encouraged to relax. Please ignore the slow collapse of everything around you.
A gentle yoga class is a great place to process burnout, capitalism and the end of the world, right?
Blending dance, theatre, live music and optional participation, this absurdist performance begins in calm guided stillness before spiralling into awkward humour, collective release and emotional chaos.
Come breathe, stretch, move and maybe let it out with us. We’re here for you.
Participation is encouraged, never compulsory!
Come for the wiggle, leave with a giggle 😉
