Company SJ delivers another deeply moving experience of the Irish lan(d)guage with #Beckett Sa Chreig: Guth Na mBan at @dublintheatrefest.bsky.social. This virtual “Walking the land” with Mná Na hÉireann is a journey through the grief and care of the everyday sublimated by cast, costume and camera.

Marina #Carr’s The Boy revives Ancient Greek tragic myths and characters for the present times. It redefines the tragic and the performance of #tragedy on the contemporary Irish stage. Masterfully directed, deftly performed, smartly designed.

#Hamlet by Chela de Ferrari at @dublintheatrefest.bsky.social had me on the edge of my seat, sinking into it, clinging onto it and springing off it to disco on the stage. What a wonderful show and what wonderful artists! Hope it keeps touring: the world needs it.

The @tlrhub.bsky.social is offering a time to reflect on the role of the #arts and #humanities on a #warming #planet as part of its Research Festival. Great to hear more acknowledgment of acts of slow violence, more methods for attunement and the reiteration of the power of storytelling.

Stimulating panel on #Performance and #Olfactory Becomings at #IFTR2025 with Julia Ostwald and @fredafiala.bsky.social from University of Arts Linz. Both scholars demonstrate how powerful the politics of smell is in shaping our socio-economic and intercultural relations.

Yuta Hagiwara, artistic director of Kamome Machine, is presenting the telephone performance “Breath ” after #Beckett’s Breath at #IFTR2025. This is a unsettling and transformative encounter with modernism, self and other. Don’t miss it if you are at @unicologne.bsky.social!

Nathaniel Coleman from @newcastleuni.bsky.social introduces his research on #failure as a different kind of success in #Architecture #pedagogy in the studio. He argues that recoding desire for the new liberates creative desire for fulfilment.

I had a great time at the online roundtable "Reading Bodies & #Embodied #Readings in #Modernist Prose and Poetry." Much gratitude to all organisers, particularly to Bowen Wang, for inviting me to present at this event. It was a good opportunity to think again about #Stimmung in #Beckett's novels.

Matsaseng Ralekoala reflects on the New EU #migration Pact and calls Europe to reflect on movement as a historical process intensifying with climate change. The #Staging #Injustice Symposium highlights how EU processes, procedures & laws keep neglecting the agency of refugees.
