Low-angle photograph of a man taking part in a touch tour, reaching up to explore a large suspended artwork with his hand. The sculpture forms a sweeping, translucent canopy above him, with warm golden-brown tones, an uneven organic surface and delicate, almost skin-like layers illuminated by light from above. His fingertips meet the textured surface as he tilts his head towards the artwork, emphasising the tactile experience and the scale of the piece.

What happens when performers surrender control to their audience?

Croí Glan’s The Act of Existing, choreographed by Philip Connaughton and performed by Bobbi Byrne & Ben Sullivan, comes to @dublinfringe, 7–11 Sept at @projectarts.

Two dancers perform an intense floor-based duet on a dark stage, their intertwined bodies illuminated by vivid pink, purple and warm amber lighting. One dancer lies on their back while supporting the other above them, with theatrical lights glowing in the background and striped fabric lying on the stage nearby.
