Stickman

A man balances a long, thin stick and comments appear behind him. “What do you see on Stage?” You see what the stick does, what the man does, and you begin to contemplate. Are you reading what you see? What exactly is the man doing with the stick or is the stick doing something with the man?

The juggler and performer Darragh McLoughlin creates his fellow entertainers from objects, objects which are in a curious way - almost naturally - connected to him. At least that is what you think, until comments appear which directly address the audience.

With careful movements and crisp humor, the artist encourages the audience to see things in detail and from new perspectives.

Darragh McLoughlin is back at the festival for the second time: In 2017, he performed «The Whistle».
