Acclaimed poet, playwright and performer Colm Keegan will premiere his new one-man show ‘C is For’ in Axis Theatre this September.

‘C is For’ is a genre-defying performance that blends spoken word, storytelling and theatrical monologue with visual art, sound and live performance. The result is a rich, immersive exploration of voice, memory and inheritance, (inspired by the most random object – that will only be revealed during the performance) rooted firmly in Keegan’s love of poetry and the transformative power of creativity.

At the heart of the show is a deeply personal narrative examining family history, memory and the legacy of Keegan’s mother’s adoption. The performance is built around a sequence of poems and visual artworks, including work from Camcorder, his upcoming poetry collection.

What the audience says about ‘C is For’:

“A daring rollercoaster collage of poetry, memoir, humour and discovery carrying raw emotional depth and energy.”

“A unique (but actually very Irish) mix of the profound, and humour. “

“Go see it! This is a show that uses poetry and art to journey through the hauntings of the past with insight and humour.”

“Funny, intimate and kind of strange”

“Something really brave, something really bold, shaking up (what I know of) the live performance scene, and it’s just a great night out!”
