IF WALLS COULD TALK

Led by cutting-edge choreographer and visual artist Cathy Coughlan, IF WALLS COULD TALK explored the themes of home and homelessness – past, present and future. Involving eighteen participants in an insightful creative process, the project included a specially arranged tour by Head of Visitor Experience Gemma Sexton, and on-site practice to inspire discussion and choreography. IF WALLS COULD TALK culminated in 3 moving, promenade performances in the rooms of 14 Henrietta Street, Dublin on Saturday 19 October 2020.
