We are currently in the processing of creating our new show entitled The Meal, which will be presented across Northern Ireland after premiering at The MAC Theatre Belfast on the 13th of June (all dates have been provided below) .
The show is a new approach for DQDT as we are working with Emma Jordan (Prime Cut Productions Belfast) and linking with Mona Eltahawy an award wining columnist from Cairo and Palestinian artist Dina Mater. We also return to further development our relationship with Composer Andy Garbi.
The Meal engages wonderful artists and social commentators from across Europe and the Middle East in an exciting and challenging high quality physical theatre performance.
4 performers (Jenny Ecke, David Ogle, Vasiliki Stasinaki & Dylan Quinn) physically and virtually indulge in a rich mix of food, movement and exploration with 2 inspiring individuals from Cairo and Gaza. Via a series of personal, intriguing, engaging and revealing stories combined with movement, text and music the performers seeks to provoke, question, stimulate and inspire.

Armagh Market Place Theatre: 15th June @ 8pm
