Alone. With just their thoughts. Don’t worry, we’re going to keep you company this next while. One Moment Now is an invitation to sit alone at a café table for a few minutes. Through headphones, you’ll hear a story - about memory, about grandsons and grandmothers, about coffee shops and hospital visits - and be invited to participate as it plays out on the table in front of you.

Lately, they’ve been falling into the same old patterns, which is either comforting or depressing - they’re not sure which. For Sam, days of working at their late father’s garage and coming home to First Dates on the telly suits her just fine. For Niamh, there’s something missing. The quiet story of their lives, of day-to-day rhythms set in the hometown they've never truly left, changes completely when their older brother Jack returns home after disappearing more than half a lifetime ago.&nbsp; With all that has happened, why has he chosen to come back now? And what does his return mean for their family? Murmuration returns with You’re Still Here, their third show after Will I See You There and Summertime. Created in collaboration across three countries,&nbsp;You’re Still Here uses an intimate, intricate textual score, to explore togetherness, estrangement and what we owe to one another.

Fin never left and is hiding in plain sight.&nbsp; Viewed through a window and heard through headphones, witness a chance encounter between two people&nbsp;unaware&nbsp;&nbsp;of&nbsp;how much they need to be heard. This intimate show is&nbsp;an invitation to listen in&nbsp;as they strive to tune out the city&nbsp;around them,&nbsp;and the noise within.&nbsp; …their interaction is thrilling in Jennifer O’Malley’s innovative, subtle and technically assured audio sound design and composition. ★★★★ The Irish Times Murmuration knows that in art, no less than in life, eavesdropping is a way to pick up on what we miss. Digging through the layers of this touching reunion, we discover a crushing misconnection, a cry for help that was made but quickly got lost in the Dublin din. ★★★★ Musings in Intermissions <img width="1252" height="870" width_o="1252" height_o="870" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7c37e395796024247cbb83c27108103f56352cfac8479a5932694f6cd7fc73e0/WISYT_1.jpg" data-mid="114201829" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7c37e395796024247cbb83c27108103f56352cfac8479a5932694f6cd7fc73e0/WISYT_1.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1273" width_o="1920" height_o="1273" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0a64be3ec02166f5f3aeea82ff6c406a1c2e89b38c33a30b0337b307d63caf8e/WillISeeYouThere_1.jpeg" data-mid="113331853" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0a64be3ec02166f5f3aeea82ff6c406a1c2e89b38c33a30b0337b307d63caf8e/WillISeeYouThere_1.jpeg" /> <img width="1280" height="853" width_o="1280" height_o="853" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0bc573467db888de40ed25bcd441784bbe2231bbaa9ed5a62e5c41c3fd3b7857/WISYT_6.jpg" data-mid="114201804" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0bc573467db888de40ed25bcd441784bbe2231bbaa9ed5a62e5c41c3fd3b7857/WISYT_6.jpg" /> Will I See You There by Murmuration Written by James Elliott with the company Director John King Cast Finbarr Doyle Nessa Matthews Co-devisor Danielle Galligan Design Ellen KirkSound Design&nbsp;Jennifer O’Malley Assistant Sound Design Leon Henry Production Manager Owen Clarke Production Assistant Aoife Daly Producer Dara Ó Cairbre Consultant Producer Kate Lennon Aisling O’Brien Photographer Anthony O’Connor Funded by the Arts Council / an Chomhaile Ealaíon.
