The Dublin Theatre Festival has something for everyone!

The Festival has long presented a wealth of exciting international productions, bringing to Irish stages some of the best theatre from around the world. The opening performance in the 2010 Festival will be CIRCA (Australia) – a breathtaking new creation using acrobatic circus skills integrated with sound, light and projection – prepare to be astounded.

Other international work includes:

- Boasting a host of awards including an Olivier Award, ENRON is the most talked about show of 2010 (A Headlong Theatre, Chichester Festival Theatre and Royal Court Production). Coming direct from an extended West End run this exuberant production uses music and movement and video in a narrative of greed and loss reviewing the tumultuous 1990s and casting a new light on the financial turmoil in which the world finds itself today.

- L’Effet de Serge (Phillippe Quesne / Vivarium Studio – France) A show about the wonder found in the simple things in life, which promises to be one of the most charming and funny shows of the Festival.

- Diciembre (Teatro en el Blanco – Chile) a politically charged, blackly comic, razor sharp family drama from the new shining light of Latin American theatre.

- The Wonderful World of Hugh Hughes (Hoipolloi- UK). Step into the utterly joyous world of emerging Welsh artist Hugh Hughes as he presents the full trilogy of his hugely acclaimed shows, Floating, Story of a Rabbit and 360. Committed to exploring the imagination and revealing the wonder in life, Hughes is the winner of a host of awards. This is a unique opportunity to catch the most uplifting, funny and heart-warming shows you’ll see this year.

But there is so much more, including a feature on theatre from Poland and talks by individuals from the theatre industry.
