Junk Ensemble Announce the World Premiere Of Powerful Trouble

Multi-award-winning dance innovators Junk Ensemble, in collaboration with acclaimed visual artists Jesse Jones, Aideen Barry and Vicky Langan, have announced Powerful Trouble, a highly visual and immersive spectacle, at The Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival.

Merging visceral movement, striking visuals, and live sound, performers will lead audiences promenade-style through the RHA, encountering a collision of artists’ responses, interrogations, and radical celebrations of the witch as a symbol of dissidence.

Powerful Trouble is a follow-up from Ritual which was performed as part of the Cork Midsummer Festival.

Junk Ensemble has built a reputation as one of Ireland’s leading voices in dance, creating work that sheds light on important human issues relevant to society today. Associate Artists at Project Arts Centre and previous Artists-in-Residence at The Tate, their productions have garnered widespread praise across Ireland and internationally.

This year's Dublin Theatre Festival line-up contains an ambitious 38 productions over 18 days. The festival's initiative is to continue to make theatre more accessible for everyone with performances suitable for audiences from the ages four and upwards. This year it offers a very strong International programme alongside a stellar lineup of new Irish work.

Performances are going on from October 11-15. Tickets range from €15-€25 and you can book here.
