This place doesn\u2019t need any geographical coordinates \u2013 it deals much more with a vague feeling of belonging. It\u2019s about a state of being, a hunch, an impression. An impossible story, in fact, not even a story at all, but instead a feeling, an idea, a belief that manages to be personal and universal at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<div id='gallery-24-1' class='gallery gallery-24'><div class='gallery-row gallery-clear'><dl class='gallery-item col-4'><dt class='gallery-icon'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"222\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.etberlin.de\/the-full-irish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/03\/the-company-Ros-Kavanagh_21-222x154.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item col-4'><dt class='gallery-icon'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"222\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.etberlin.de\/the-full-irish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/03\/the-company-Ros-Kavanagh_31-222x154.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item col-4'><dt class='gallery-icon'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"222\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.etberlin.de\/the-full-irish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/03\/the-company-Ros-Kavanagh_41-222x154.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item col-4'><dt class='gallery-icon'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"222\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.etberlin.de\/the-full-irish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/03\/the-company-Ros-Kavanagh1-222x154.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/dt><\/dl><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p><em>As you are now so once were we<\/em> is not a piece of theatre about something \u2013 it\u2019s about a day where nothing special happens, a day that all of us experience differently, the most everyday of all days.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe attempt to collectively create a performance is turned into the production itself. The enthusiasm, the effort, the battle of wills and personalities is held up for us to see \u2026 The performers deliver with a cool, informal style, although the material is clearly practiced. Words, however, seem less important than form, and new ideas are conveyed through experimenting with boxes of all shapes and sizes. As the stories unfold, the boxes become buildings, restaurants, tables and theatres, and the collective constructs the city as members\u2019 please. They find meaning in the city and in their art by conjuring and collapsing both before us. The effect is clever and charming.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em>The Irish Theatre Magazine<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MJXd7ndCUIc\">Watch Video on YouTube<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Known for a unique blend of precisely choreographed movement with fundamental questions about identity and modern society, The Company\u2019s work has been awarded a major commission by the prestigious National Theatre of Ireland, The Abbey, and won the coveted \u201cBest Production\u201d award at the 2010 Absolut Dublin Fringe Festival and the \u201cSpirit of the Fringe Award\u201d at the 2009 Absolut Fringe Festival.
