theatre Scrapefoot The Ark’s summer show is a col
laboration with the award-winning Anu Productions. Promising an immersive adventure where you get to choose your own take on the tale of Goldilocks, Scrapefoot sees Anu adapt their trade-mark edge for younger minds. Goldilocks has morphed from a fox called Scrapefoot into an old hag, and finally into the Goldilocks we know today. What remains the same in each version of the story, is that they each entered a house in the woods (when nobody was home), to feast, sleep and shelter. The Ark, Saturday June 29 (previews), Wednesday July 10 (opens) until Saturday August 31, €6/€7.50 CLUB Kornél Kovács The first of a series of ‘day-time rooftop parties’ in Jam Park in Swords. The ever inventive Bodytonic take on their biggest undertaking to date with the revamping of this 80,000 sq ft venue which has a capacity of 2000 and original cost of €38m into a multi-purpose catch-all space covering everything from brunches and markets to screenings. With the sun beating down, this should prove a fresh draw for scaled up and extended club experiences which the city so badly needs. With the rain lashing, the appeal – if you don’t live in the vicinity – may be somewhat diminished; the numbers will need to stack up. The Swedish producer Kovács is here off the back of his well-received second full-length album Stockholm Marathon. Others up on the roof include: Cooks but we’re chefs (June 15), Project Pablo (July 7), Palms Traxs (July 27), Optimo (August 24). Jam Park (Swords), Saturday June 22, 2pm-10pm, €10-€15 talk Moby In 2000, Moby’s star couldn’t rise much higher. Off the back of the phenomenal success of Play, which turned 20 last month and sold 12 million copies, he was cresting the height of stardom. Then It Fell Apart recounts the heady months before alcohol addiction and mental health issues brought him crashing back down. From the various extracts we’ve read in GQ and The Sunday Times, it seems to be a swirl of namedropping, stretch limos and hob-nobbing - John Lydon, David Bowie and Kyle MacLachlan rocking up backstage, Morrissey wanting him to produce his next album, David LaChapelle introducing him to Holly from Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side. He’s in conversation tonight with Tony Clayton-Lea. Thursday June 6, Liberty Hall, €21.99 (including a copy of Then It Fell Apart) 90
