SUMMARY:Common Ground @ EPIC
DESCRIPTION:Common Ground: Ireland and the EU is a new multimedia exhibition exploring how Ireland’s membership of the European Union has shaped the country socially\, culturally and economically over the past few decades. The exhibition also looks at the impact Ireland has had across Europe\, telling stories of migration\, opportunity\, equality\, education and cultural exchange through immersive displays and personal stories. \n  \n\n\nIreland joined the European Economic Community (EEC) – as the EU was then known – on January 1\, 1973\, after a referendum endorsed by 83% of voters. It was then among the poorest and most underdeveloped countries in western Europe\, with a population just over half of its current size. \nIreland’s accession proved to be the most consequential economic milestone in the half century since Irish independence\, but it also set in motion far-reaching social and cultural change. EU legislation has driven improvements in workers’ rights\, for example\, and set binding targets for climate action. Irish people have studied and built new lives across Europe\, while many Europeans have since made their homes here in Ireland. \nAs Ireland assumes the EU presidency in 2026\, this new multimedia exhibition explores how a small island nation has extended its influence across Europe\, and how Europe\, in turn\, has profoundly shaped modern Ireland. \nFeatured Stories:\nEqual Pay \nStudying Abroad \nAn Ghaeilge \nEntry to this exhibition is included in general admission tickets.

SUMMARY:Robin Hood – The Gaiety Panto 2026/2027
DESCRIPTION:The production contains flashing lights\, loud noises\, smoke\, fog & pyro.\n\nIt wouldn’t be Christmas without a visit to the Gaiety Panto! \nCelebrating over 150 years of pantomime\, the Gaiety Theatre is thrilled to announce that next year’s highly anticipated Christmas pantomime will be Robin Hood with performances from 22 November 2026 until 3 January 2027. \nJoin Robin Hood in this swashbuckling spectacle\, where he robs from the rich to give to the poor. The dastardly ‘Sheriff of Snottingham’ is no match for this band of rebels\, and as always\, good conquers evil…! With frolics and mayhem and of course Panto merriment\, follow Robin’s journey as he knocks the devious Sheriff off his high horse and finds true love with the feisty Maid Marian along the way. \nSo\, if you’re looking for your regular dose of Gaiety Panto magic\, with additional men in tights\, then look no further than Robin Hood. \nThe Gaiety Theatre has hosted the annual Christmas Panto since 1873. Today\, families come from far and wide to experience the Gaiety Christmas Panto and for many it has become as much a family Christmas tradition as Santa himself! This is no ordinary Panto… It’s the Gaiety Panto…!

SUMMARY:Éire to Everywhere: Stories Without Borders with Katriona O’Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Éire to Everywhere is delighted to welcome the wonderful Katriona O’Sullivan\, who many will know from her gritty and powerful memoir Poor\, recently staged as a play. She joins us at EPIC to discuss her new book Hungry\, another biography\, this time focusing on the topic of body positivity and how she has struggled with this despite academic and professional accolades. \nTicket holders should arrive about 10 minutes before 5:30pm at the Visitor Information desk within chq. There they will be escorted to the event’s location. We would ask that you arrive no later than 5:35pm\, as it’s imperative these events begin on time to ensure the best experience for the author and for our visitors. \nAbout the Book\nKatriona O’Sullivan has come a long way from the poverty\, chaos and abuse she knew growing up. A respected academic and bestselling author\, she defied every expectation placed on the teenage mother she once was. \nYet even as the accolades arrived\, old beliefs held fast. No degree\, no award\, no recognition could silence the sense that she was only worthy when her body looked the way society said it should. \nIn this fierce and fearless memoir\, Katriona pulls back the curtain on her journey: the relentless comparison to the curated bodies of strangers on the internet\, the dangerous weight-loss treatments\, the attempts to reshape herself into an impossible ideal – and how she slowly learned to accept and love herself. \nHungry is an unforgettable examination of how gender\, class and trauma shape a woman’s sense of worth. It is one woman’s story – and a rallying cry for every woman who has ever felt she had to shrink to survive. \nAbout the Author\n\nDr Katriona O’Sullivan is a professor of psychology and the bestselling r Bio author of Poor\, winner of Biography of the Year and Newcomer of the Year at the Irish Book Awards. The memoir has been translated into seven languages\, adapted into a sold-out play at Dublin’s Gate Theatre\, and remained in Ireland’s top-ten nonfiction chart for two years. A regular commentator on the BBC and across Irish and international media\, she has spoken at Westminster\, the UN and UNESCO. \n\nBorn in Coventry to Irish parents\, her early life was marked by poverty\, addiction\, teenage pregnancy and homelessness. In 1998\, she moved to Dublin\, where she entered Trinity College through the access programme and went on to earn a PhD in psychology. Now a professor at Maynooth University\, she directs the National Centre for Inclusive Higher Education and leads the award-winning STEM Passport for Inclusion\, which has supported over 10\,000 young people from underserved communities into higher education and high-status careers. \nEndorsements of Hungry\n“Raw and remarkable” – The Irish Independent \n“As profound and honest as anything I have ever read” – Liz Nugent \n“Soaring with compassion\, intelligence and hard-won wisdom” – Louise Kennedy \nEndorsements of Poor\n“O’Sullivan’s redemptive arc has had to break through the systemic discrimination” – RTÉ Bookclub \n“Grit\, courage\, and the life-changing value of self-belief” – Irish Central

SUMMARY:Harakiri For The Sky
DESCRIPTION:Despair\, loss\, love\, and existential struggles have always been the foundation of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY’s distinctive sound. Since their formation in 2011\, multi-instrumentalist M.S. and vocalist J.J. have gained recognition for pushing musical boundaries with their emotionally charged blend of atmospheric extreme metal and melodic post-rock\, grunge and modern hardcore\, carving out a genre of their own. After maintaining a steady two-year release rhythm and producing five albums in nine years\, the band decided to break from tradition following 2021’s “Maere” (which peaked at #4 on the official German charts). Taking four years to craft their next epic chapter\, HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY will now release their new tour-de-force\, “Scorched Earth”\, in January 2025 through AOP Records. \nMusically\, HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY continues to evolve\, but don’t stray too far away from the path they have been walking for the past 13 years. Their music is renowned for its melancholic\, deeply emotional tone\, exploring themes of existential despair\, inner turmoil\, and the human condition. Over the years\, these themes have solidified their place as pioneers of their own genre. \nGrowth has been a defining element for HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY in recent years. They’ve headlined tours across Europe\, North America\, South America\, Asia\, and Australia\, earning a reputation as one of the most emotionally intense live acts in modern metal. Additionally\, they’ve garnered five nominations for Austria’s prestigious Amadeus Music Award. Now\, the band is ready to return to the stage\, kicking off an extensive North American tour with Swallow The Sun in February\, followed by a European headline tour in April to unveil “Scorched Earth” to the world.

SUMMARY:LEENALCHI

SUMMARY:Spike F**k
DESCRIPTION:For ten years Melbourne’s Spike Fuck has existed more as a messy myth than an artist – sporadic works forever poised on the precipice of triumph\, rumours of death or insanity and so on. Spike’s foray into music in 2015 served a cultural fantasy\, not by any overarching sense of ambition\, but rather a would-be\, cosplay pop star arrested by his own devices and whose melancholy wove through unlikely cultural circles. \n  \nHis sole body of work\, The Smackwave EP (Partisan Records)\, addressed themes as literal as the title suggests: drug use\, gender identity\, religion and existentialism. Soon after its release\, Spike was swept up in the whirlwind of unexpected success\, moving from underground warehouse parties to being draped in high fashion and editorial photoshoots accompanied by interviews\, in which he gave unrelenting and uncensored details of his life. \nReturning in 2024 after a four-year hiatus\, Spike has returned sober\, clear-eyed\, and transformed. Spike is no longer alone with a backing track\, but fronting a rotating full band. Together they channel ’70s glam\, spiritual soul\, and damaged rock’n’roll; always refracted through Spike’s unmistakable\, bruised\, and poetic voice.
