Poster and brochure design for The Performance Corporation

0707 THE PERFORMANCE CORPORATION

The Performance Corporation is one of Irish theatre's leading companies. Its fresh, award-winning work blends thrilling visuals, hi-tech innovation, edgy writing and strong physical intuition to create a "choreographed anarchy" that has garnered audience and critical acclaim. "On the Mullet peninsula, in a time that's neither here nor there, lived two townlands at war with each other for no good reason except it was something to do when the days got longer. Emlyclough North and Emlyclough South were the names of those two warring tribes. I'll tell you, they hated each other down to a man. Except for this one oddly exceptional case. Isn't it funny how a person can get so fiercely lovey dovey over a person playing for the other team." A&D designed the poster and programme for their unique new outdoor spectacle, Lizzie Lavelle and the Vanishing of Emlyclough. Photo by Colm Hogan.
