The world premiere of Barbarian, a new theatre/movement work exploring themes of masculinity, authority, childhood and generational trauma, performed by Diarmuid Armstrong and Hannah Rogerson. Created by theatre-maker Bob Kelly and dancer/choreographer Diarmuid Armstrong from the west of Ireland, both trained in different European movement schools.
Coming from a rich musical background, Diarmuid trained at the Fontys Dance Academy, graduating in 2021. He has since worked with leading artists and companies, including Luke Murphy, Liz Roche Company, CoisCéim, and Catherine Young. His choreographic work Texture Like Sun premiered at Dublin Fringe 2023.
Bob trained at the Ecole de Jacques Lecoq and has received critical acclaim for his theatre work as both actor and writer/ director. His creative work focuses on Irish identity and blends social and magical realism. Recent projects include The Hare
