Chaos Factory

Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin Fringe Festival, 2018

Chaos Factory present a surreal spectacle of beauty, bravery and brutality.

A dressing room.
Three women invite you in.

Kiss Kiss Slap Slap is a multifaceted performance about the Ireland we live in. About the Ireland we could live in. The game is changing, times are shifting and the masks are finally slipping.

Everyone’s a witness.
So where do we go from here?
The jury is still out.

In the wake of #Repeal the Eighth and the #MeToo movement, Kiss Kiss Slap Slap welcomes a changing Ireland, moving forward from past oppressions and microaggressions. Kiss Kiss Slap Slap is looking back but never returning, arriving and trying to define the new.

A fast-paced, irreverent examination of rape culture in Ireland performed by Fionnuala Gygax, Danielle Galligan and Venetia Bowe, Kiss Kiss Slap Slap celebrates solidarity and empowerment.

Play development was supported by Fishamble: The New Play Company’s New Play Clinic.
