Arabian Night – Written by Roland Schimmelfpfennig. Translation by David Tushingham

A bold take on the powerful and surreal Arabian Night comes to the Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray. Joined by the Music Performance and Production departments, BIFE’s Black Box Theatre Company will conjure their unique take on this journey of self-discovery, betrayal and love in an immersive sonic experience. Wearing blindfolds, the audience is invited into this auditory mirage where the leaky pipes of the high-rise apartment become the soundtrack
