Outlandish Theatre Platform creates inter-disciplinary theatre and
inter-media projects with local communities in Dublin 8 and beyond,
exploring who we are within perceived cultural, national and global
narratives.
Maud Hendricks and Bernie O’Reilly write, reinvent and collaborate
with professionals and community participants to create intricate
theatre portraits. We make performances that breathe, and so give room
to the audience to find themselves in it.
