Niall Sweeney’s Revolver
The Details!
a thisispopbaby production
Embarking from a Dublin of a near-distant memory — with its burgeoning cultures of clubbing, digital media, and DIY — graphic artist and visionary Niall Sweeney takes you loop-the-loop round a world viewed through glasses tinted with his particular bent. Condensing two decades into a two hour performance, Sweeney presents an evening of story cycles and graphic travelogues in words, pictures and music. From suspending giant babies, basking sharks, drag queens and himself over a variety of dancefloors, scandalising the front pages of the papers, and honing the blades of cutting-edge queer culture to celebrating inner-city communities as different kinds of animal, making tiny staircases in and out of books, attending dinner parties with spacemen, and time-travelling with pop artists… Expect stories of incident in confabulations of the high- and low-brow past/present/future, some transgression, Sean-nós and a few grams of synesthesia. Sweeney will be joined on the night by some heroines and muses… and there’s the chance of a little puppetry.
Niall Sweeney is half of the collaborative graphic studio Pony, based in London and working all over the place. More info HERE.
