Exciting October line-up announced for local Tipperary arts centre
The Source Arts Centre, Thurles, has announced a series of performances set to take to the stage next month
The Fionn MacCumhaill Players present ‘And Then There Were None’ by Agatha Christie.
They will present the show in the Source Arts Centre, Thurles, on Friday, November 8, at 8pm.
Tickets for the show cost €20.
A group of strangers, each with a shadowy past, are lured to a grand but isolated mansion on a remote island.
Cut off from the mainland and surrounded by the sea, they quickly discover that their mysterious host is nowhere to be found.
This is Agatha Christie at her most chilling: a claustrophobic world where civility unravels, secrets weigh heavy, and the ordinary becomes sinister.
Blending sharp dialogue with an air of impending dread, the play is a psychological thriller that traps its characters, and audience, in an atmosphere of mistrust, unease, and suspense.
Also in the Source Arts Centre this October, the Tipperary Dance Festival returns this October with two powerful performances.
The Source is delighted to welcome the 16th edition of Tipperary Dance Festival.
TDF'25 sticks to one value like a mantra: dance can help us cultivate ways to live together.
First up we have Satiri (Satyrs) which is a powerful and poetic dance performance created by renowned Italian choreographer Virgilio Sieni.
On stage, two talented dancers - Jari Boldrini and Maurizio Giunti - move with intensity and emotion, accompanied by live music.
Cellist Naomi Berrill plays works by Johann Sebastian Bach and her own original pieces, filling the space with sound and atmosphere.
The show is inspired by the ancient myth of the Satyr - a wild, mysterious creature who dares to face the dark side of life with energy and joy.
The dancers throw themselves into this idea, using their bodies to explore emotions, tension, and beauty.
It's not just about dance - it's about expressing human resilience and depth, connecting myth to modern experience through dance and music.
Next up we have Impasse, which is a powerful, driving, and charged duet that seeks to understand the politics of the Black body in a contemporary western society.
Through striking imagery, raw physicality, and emotional intensity the performance challenges the historical racial projections of blackness – its crudeness, threat, sexuality, rage, and immorality – unveiling its power, grace, sensuality, tenderness, intelligence, and love.
Impasse goes beyond mere exploration and invites a reshaping of our sense of self and community.
Satiri takes place on Thursday, October 2, at 8pm.
Impasse takes to the stage on Saturday, October 4, at 8pm.
Tickets for both shows cost €15 each, with the show being free to those under 18 years-old.
Advance tickets for all shows are available online at www.thesourceartscentre.ie - or by phone from the Box office on 0504 90204.
