Chamber Made On Tour

In June, CHAMBER MADE which won the award for sexiest production at the ESB Dublin Fringe Festival Awards last year will tour to hotel bedrooms in Galway, Limerick, Tralee and Cork.

CoisCéim gives you the surreal experience of being a guest in a hotel room without ever having to check in! Fitting in effortlessly with the routine hustle and bustle of hotel life, CHAMBER MADE, created by David Bolger and Katie Read, brings you into hotel rooms to espy what goes on behind closed doors in the love lives of three couples, all experiencing different emotions and expectations of romance, lust and love.

CHAMBER MADE is performed with physical dexterity and superb athletic grace by Miguel Angel, Muirne Bloomer , Ester Ó Brolcháin, Emma O'Kane, Des Nealon and Karl Sullivan. Rory Pierce, who is performer/arranger with The Divine Comedy, has created original music for the production. Sound design is by Ciarán Eaton and costume design is by Sinéad Cuthbert.

Last year, at the Kilkenny Arts Festival, and again at the Dublin Fringe Festival, David Bolger and Katie Read captivated audiences and critics with their ability to suffuse raw and poignant emotion with wit and charm, in a celebration of the possibilities of dance and movement, and of course, love!

CHAMBER MADE is a theatrical experience of dance that you've probably never quite experienced before. Don't miss it!
