The Whistle
SQUAREHEAD PRODUCTIONS
Darragh McLoughlin
"When you hear the sound of the whistle you have to close your eyes.
When you hear it again you may open them."
What if you were at the same time spectator and creator of a piece?
A juggler, a whistle and the audience together create a multitude of moments: Time travel - Déjà vu – Glitches - Fast forward – Rewind - Déjà vu
All without technics or special effects.
A journey through several different hilarious yet often poetic narratives.
Close your eyes!
Open them!
Will you play the game or will you cheat?
Either way you will be played!
Currently laureate of CircusNext, European scheme coordinated by Jeunes Talents Cirque Europe and supported by the European Commission and receiver of the Circus Project Award, administred by the Arts Council of Ireland, Squarehead Productions is a contemporary circus company founded in 2011 by Irish creator/performer Darragh McLoughlin.
The company makes use of the liberating potential of creating for the stage by inventing abstract worlds with specific logical frameworks. Applying dramaturgical logic as a centre point to the creative process and transferring cinematographic principles on stage are defining features of the Company´s aesthetics; The Company's research focuses on challenging the symbiosis of meaning, purpose and action.
Other creations of the company include A Collection of Tales and Oddities (10 min.) and Fragments of a Mind (60 min.).
