Friday 29 + Saturday 30 January 2016.
Revolutions is the exciting theme of this year’s festival. It’s a theme that not only takes account of this year’s celebration of the centenary of the Easter Rising and the Irish War of Independence but also the recently successful marriage equality referendum in which the people of Ireland voted to extend equal rights to its GLBT citizens, but also refers to a state of revolt and change that characterises many important past and current events outside of Ireland.
