Requiem For The Truth

Truth, we are told, is dead. If so, then who organises the funeral?

Stomptown Brass, the outrageously energetic 10-piece street-funk band, and Collapsing Horse, the most exciting young theatre company in Ireland, in this co-production, take on an audacious task: to host a funeral for the Truth.

Witness the colourful exuberance of the Haitian Voodoo-inspired New Orleans jazz funeral as it smashes up against the mournful, solemn ceremony of Roman Catholicism.

An extravagant, chaotic street party, with a dark twist.
