gig Requiem for the Truth Truth, we are told, is
dead. If so, then who organises the funeral? Why none other than Stomptown Brass, the 10-piece street-funk band, and Collapsing Horse theatre company. 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. Pepper Canister Church, Friday November 16 & Saturday November 17, €15-€25 exhibition Intimacy EVENT Family Rave We are family, I got all my rave kids with me. The ravers have come of age and so have their kids. Smiley faces in the house for this afternoon bash. Featuring ‘neon crafts, face painting and bubbles’ for the kids and ‘decent coffee’ for the grown ups, we’re also expecting some frantic synths, tough breaks and maybe a smidgen of cross-generational euphoric bedlam. And it’ll be bright when you walk out even if it is pm rather than am. Wigwam, Saturday November 24, 3pm-4.30pm, €5/€7 Is technology disrupting traditional notions of togetherness, opening new avenues for connection, or killing off closeness altogether? These are some of the questions raised in the Science Gallery’s look at Intimacy and how it is quantified, optimised and commodified. Bringing together technology, neuroscience, art, behaviour, belief and trust; exhibition designer Rhona Byrne brings us up close and personal to human connections through a series of exhibition highlights such as Emotion Capture — Arthur Gouillart’s beautiful sculptures which are created by using magnetic field sensors and patches to track the motion of a tongue during a kiss. A series of events and talks accompany Intimacy. Science Gallery until February 24. A SITE FOR GLAD EYES Introducing our spanking new website, the perfect complement to your inky friend.
