THE ONES TO WATCH<br />
<strong>Cork</strong> <strong>Midsummer</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> is dedicated to the the commissioning, development and support<br />

GAITKRASH<br />
PIMPING THE MAIDS<br />
Gaitkrash in collaboration with the<br />
Llanarth Group presents its new workin-progress<br />
based on Jean Genet’s The<br />
Maids. For their new piece of theatre<br />
the team of collaborators is ‘assetstripping’<br />
Genet’s famous play and<br />
‘pimping’ or putting it back together<br />
again in a multi-media montage with<br />
a nuanced agenda. The piece blends<br />
performance, dance, video and sound<br />
art to explore themes such as chaos<br />
and ritual, transgression and frustrated<br />
desire, religious fervour and the agony<br />
of ecstasy, nihilism and the energy of<br />
the pathological. ‘Filth doesn’t love…..<br />
filth’, or does it? An over-18’s piece<br />
for those who like to delve below the<br />
surface<br />

WHAT THE F*CK YOU<br />
GONNA DO ABOUT IT<br />
THEATREclub are ruining lives all<br />
over this city. We’re breaking hearts,<br />
stepping on toes and pissing on dreams<br />
in college lecture halls. Just when<br />
we got to an age where we could<br />
finally start making something of<br />
ourselves, the whole country crashed<br />
down around us. Brown Sugar. Sonic<br />
Youth. Semiotics. Cymbals. Symbols.<br />
Cymbalism. THEATREclub are gonna<br />
talk about being young, about not<br />
being young, about being too old to<br />
care. Dancing. Confetti. Paper Cups.<br />
Drenched. Rained. Weighted. Waited<br />
for what? And about not caring that<br />
you don’t care or that YOU stole a<br />
CLOCK RADIO.<br />

THE LETTER PROJECT<br />
If you took the time and had the<br />
chance to write to a person or a<br />
thing, who or what would you write<br />
to? Earlier this year, Meantime asked<br />
the public this question, and what<br />
followed became The Letter Project: a<br />
performance inspired by the flood of<br />
letters received.<br />
