Full Event Details
Contatto is the search for that feeling of human connection. The sense of precarity, uncertainty and loss of physical contact caused by the Covid-19 pandemic drove this creative challenge. Artists who have roots in Ireland and beyond are the protagonists of this story, the story of Ireland’s creativity, a story that is not complete without these voices.
