Cairde Sligo Arts Festival is delighted to present the 2nd installment of Unveiled, a unique opportunity to see four brand-new works in progress as part of our Artist Development Programme.
Unveiled 2025 will share work by Ikenna Anyabuike (Theatre), Amir Sabra and Laura Lundy (Dance), Angelica Santander (Clown/Theatre) and work by Kyle Conlon, Nell Garcia and Dylan McGloin of Know Promises (Theatre).
The programme for the evening is as follows:
7pm Angelica Santander
TOO LATE!! Is a one woman clown show that talks about procrastination, self sabotage, city living and all the ridiculousness that can be squeezed out of it. Through the lens of clown logic this show explores human nature and how sometimes we can be our own worst enemies.
Anglelica Santander is a clown, director, my work combines theatrical, circus and clowning elements. I strive to create original work that exposes and questions the essence of our humanity, its ridiculousness, purpose, fears and desires.
7.30pm Know Promises Theatre Collective
Are we moulded or made? We look at the life of Camille Claudel, a French sculptor. Her life is constantly in the hands of others, the love of her life Rodin, and the clay from which she comes from her mother. Set within the confines of her studio, this is her voice finally at the forefront of her story, this is a love letter to the underrated woman and genius of her field. A burst of capturing her work as an artist and the tragedies in her life, featuring life sculpting, is a visually striking, bold new piece presented by Know Promises Theatre Collective.
Directed & Designed by Dylan Mc Gloin | Show concept, Idea by Nell Garcia
Performed by Nell Garcia & Kyle Conlon
