With humour and humility, The Tightrope Walker navigates a woman’s journey through the chaotic and profound territory of illness and recovery. It explores the grief inherent in a serious diagnosis, as well as the community and characters who share in the journey. It is a testament to the care and connection we may find in challenging times.
This performance of The Tightrope Walker is funded by South Dublin Live with development support from The Arts Council of Ireland, The Civic, and Irish Hospice Foundation.
