Luke Murphy’s Attic Projects brings four-time Irish Times Theatre Award winner Volcano to ADF this summer. In a liminal space, a living room in disrepair, a room without a door, two exasperated characters recreate the greatest hits of old lives: a night at a rave, a favorite game show, an 80s music video, passing the time or quietly clinging to distant memories of a life out of reach. As the narrative unfolds the deeper precarity of their circumstances comes to focus leading the audience through a fever dream of questions and upended assumptions. Presented across four, forty-five-minute episodes, Volcano blurs the lines of experimental theater, contemporary dance, and a sci-fi thriller in live performance made for the Netflix era.

Volcano comprises 4 episodes, each of 45 minutes. There is a 5-minute pause between Episode 1 and Episode 2 and again between Episode 2 and Episode 3. We ask that patrons remain seated.
There is a full 25-minute interval between Episode 3 and Episode 4. Please leave the theater, stretch your legs, get a bite to eat, and ready yourself for the final episode!
