Kilkenny Arts Festival: Dumbworld - The Scorched Earth Trilogy

Dumbworld is a multidisciplinary, creative production company working across performance, digital, installation and film,  co-founded John McIlduff and CMC Composer Brian Irvine.

The Scorched Earth Trilogy is a trio of satirical films. Projected onto the walls of the city while the audience watches from the street (and listens via headphones), each film is a unique blend of opera, music, street art and animation that tackles some of our most pressing concerns with coruscating humour and wit.

TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS
Welcome to a pissing contest at Davos. Swollen by champagne and self congratulation, a gang of suited politicians relieve themselves against a wall.

WON’T BRING BACK THE SNOW
Forced into the city by the disappearance of its natural habitat, a father and daughter polar bear search through trash for something to eat.

REVIVAL
Revival presents a dystopian world of children forced to wear gas masks as they skip and swing. But these same children are at the heart of an ecological revolution...
