50 Ways to Leave Dun Laoghaire
by Carpet Theatre, July 2008
50 Ways to Leave Dún Laoghaire by Carpet Theatre, was a site-specific
performance which took place in Dún Laoghaire Ferry Terminal on Friday
11th and Saturday 12th July 2008, as part of the 'Place and Identity' programme
of Per Cent for Art co
mmissions.
Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company generously provided the venue for the
performances.
50 Ways to Leave Dún Laoghaire brought the audience to the ferry
terminal to catch a phantom ferry. A host of recognisable characters got
caught in a pattern of coming and going as Carpet Theatre unpacked the experience
of collective travel: security rituals, meetings and partings, tears of
joy and despair when the ship comes in.
