LISTOWEL SYNDROME

A dark tale of small-town solidarity. Majority rules and a close-knit community turns on one of its own. This is Listowel Syndrome - in a small town you can’t afford to make enemies and actions do have consequences.

Reflecting on a recent case that saw a large number of people express their solidarity for a convicted man through a wordless gesture, it brings to mind a Faustian pact. Told through dance, text, song and live music, this is a fable told for any town at any time. Emma Martin tackles a subject matter rooted deep in the Irish consciousness, and utterly of the moment.
