SweetTalk 27 Dublin - NIALL'S WEENEY & THE STORY OF 'O'

The CANDY COLLECTIVE's latest Dublin edition of SweetTalk later tonight is billed as 'performance with words, pictures and the chance of a dance'. Graphic designer NIALL SWEENEY presents the 'STORY OF 'O'' interspersed with performances by: PANTI | NEIL WATKINS | ANNIE RYAN | CATHY WHITE | SHIRLEY TEMPLE BAR | VEDA BEAUX REVES | TOM OF IRELAND | FAT MORGAN | ALAN d'UFFY.

Expect anything with this gang involved - the entourage were behind gutsy fetish club-nights GAG and POWDERBUBBLE (launched on the South City Quays when it was still a wasteland) and TONIE WALSH's massive ELEVATOR nights in the disused ORMOND PRINT WORKS. That building became the MORRISON HOTEL soon after - a contrast that reminds me how entertainment in Dublin seems more 'high-street' and sanitised these days. Audiences seemed a lot hungrier for experimentation - during that period we ran the GETOUT events in the FURNACE which were so jammed we were forced to close the doors on a queue stretching past what is now the MORGAN HOTEL.

Anyway the evening is divided into four chapters:
THE CHAIR
THE PHALLUS
THE HOUSE
THE SHOES !

...there will be presentations from:
SEAN HILLEN - (artist, Ireland)
ALAN ZÁRUBA - (graphic designer and design writer, Prague)
TONIE WALSH - (queer archivist and activist, Ireland)
