axis’ 15th birthday and a farewell
to the 7 towers of Ballymun.
To mark this moment in time

Let’s make 2016 a celebration of arts,
culture, creativity and community, at the
heart of the northside of Dublin. I want
to invite you to not alone be part of but to
shape our programme throughout this year.
This season we have great work on our
stage, in our gallery and in our studios
and I am especially delighted that our
new production in 2016 is a very special
family show about Ireland’s Pirate queen,
Granuaile, a beautiful piece of interactive
storytelling. We also have many more
highlights for you throughout the next
few pages.
In late 2016 our gallery will
host ‘The Mun’ a major group
photographic exhibition
celebrating Ballymun past
and present. (see page 24)
This is our campaign in this special year.
A campaign to highlight and celebrate the
importance of creativity, culture and the
arts to us all, in our homes, communities,
towns and cities. Let’s not take our
creativity for granted. We want you to get
involved in and say 'yes' to your creativity,
and show and tell us how important
creativity is to you. No matter who you
are or where you are from, young or old,
in Ballymun and all across this wonderful
city we want you to come out as creative, to
come out and play, to make, visit and watch.
We are inviting you in 2016 to Dream out
Loud and say #yescreativity. We will be
running this campaign throughout the year
so look out for ways of getting involved.
New Rising New Work, a
week in the summer which
will be an opportunity for
the public, artists /theatre
makers to apply for space to develop and
show work. A special Borradh Buan.
In 2016 we want to celebrate culture,
creativity and the arts, so I am asking you
to get in touch with any ideas you might
have. We mightn’t be able to make them all
happen but unless we’re dreaming, we’re
just sleeping and in 2016 let’s be
wide awake.
‘Dream up the world you want to live in.
Dream out loud’

Do you want to feel alive? Want to feel
connected to something big? Bigger than you
and your problems? You should be where we
are. Pure adrenaline. The build up to that one

Dublin, 24 April 1916. Ireland's leading
actors abandon a matinee of 'Cathleen Ni
Houlihan'. Stepping out of their costumes
and taking their revolvers from beneath the
Abbey stage, they march to Dublin Castle.
Firing the first shots of the insurrection
they destroyed the status quo and changed
forever the course of Irish history.
Helena Molony and Sean Connolly rehearsed
for rebellion, carried out rebellion and
suffered the fatal and living conquesences of
their participation.
Derived from real-life testimonies, 'Rebel
Rebel' chronicles the finite moments
when the play (which more than any other
symbolised the link between the cultural
revival and the Irish revolution) spilled
revolution from the stage onto the streets,
leading to Sean's fatal shooting and dying in
her arms on the roof of City Hall.

uplifting story of two lonely Dubliners
who find love, hope and redemption in the
twilight of their lives. At times sad, at times
uproarious, ‘Chapatti’, which stars axis
stalwarts Neasa McCann and Robbie Sexton,
is a delicate mixture of fun, pathos and
gentle comedy which will leave audiences
with a huge smile on their faces.
