The Jellyfish Brigade of the Dragon of Shandon

It’s not often you’ll see giant jellyfish floating along North Main Street, although with the rains pummeling Cork in the last few days there may well have been floods along there.

Had some much needed one to one time with one my kids today…we headed into the city for the #Norfolk and #Norwich Festival…usually there is more going on in Chapelfield Gardens, but we were not disappointed by the time we reached outside the Forum.

Great inclusive dance displays, a hydro punk play area…but our favourite was the #PuppetTheatre make your own puppet tent.

Happy hour spent creating the Reggie the bat, the volunteers were fab…and then the creativity continued once we got home!

“A very cute, semi-puppet, even childish, but the best, in my humble opinion, performance of this opera.” [review]

My catch in this year's outstanding #FigurIFossekleiva international festival: Cat Smits Company: Dis Order, Pigmaliao Escultura que Mexe: Anthropophagic fables for fascist days, Alex Barti Mihajalovskij: The Barti Show, Yael Rasooly: Paper Cut.
All stunning shows!

"Dis Order is a theater piece about eating disorders and is partly autobiographical, based on the diaries of Smits as well as on the scientific research of Marlies Rekkers. With magical puppetry, dance and performance they transform this sensitive topic in a dark and poetic tale."

Indeed. A just brilliant performance opening this year's "Figur i Fossekleiva" festival.
