The company has thrived at the cutting edge of contemporary live performance in Ireland, pioneering large-scale shows such as WAKE, RIOT and Alice In Funderland, incendiary multidisciplinary festivals Where We Live and Queer Notions, iconic underground performance like WERK and Salty, and award-winning new writing. To date, the work has played to audiences all over the world, collaborating with hundreds of incredible artists to light up our cities and speak to the world through the lens of what it means to be Irish. Innovation is in the company’s veins, the work provokes change, and every THISISPOPBABY show inspires, entertains and surprises in the most glittering way.
