Nameless, presented by the Polish Arts Festival, will be held at An Taibhdhearc on April 30th and May 1st at 7pm.
This powerful production tells the story of a woman who finds herself confined in a mental health institution without her consent, and her struggle to adapt and fit in. With a bilingual (Polish/English with subtitles) approach, Nameless promises to be a moving and thought-provoking theatrical experience.
Just Friends Collective brings OCD Me to Nun’s Island Theatre at Galway Arts Centre on April 30th and May 1st at 7pm.

SALT is a multidisciplinary, immersive, ritual celebration of the sea as a coastal community, inspired by the stories of sea-swimmers from Kinvara.
