This is not a show about the status quo. This is a story about making a change.
Xnthony was 12 when he made his confirmation. He was 26 when Roscommon voted no in the Marriage Equality Referendum. This is the story of those moments and everything that happened in between, exploring the complex relationships we have with the places we call home and the stories they hold. A poignant pop concert from an award-winning creative team about looking for confirmation and wondering if we can ever find it.
Confirmation premiered at Dublin Fringe Festival supported by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon, Creative Ireland, Roscommon County Council, and Roscommon Arts Centre. Developed at FRINGE LAB with the support of Dublin Fringe Festival.
