Memorial Monologues – The Path of Memory

Iveagh Gardens St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2

Memorial Monologues: The Path of Memory by Mary Moynihan was commissioned by Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality and Front Line Defenders for the fifth annual Dublin Arts and Human Rights festival in 2023. Due to popular demand, the show returns for the 2024 festival for three outdoor performances from 18-20 October, daily at 1pm in the award-winning Iveagh Gardens, Dublin’s secret garden, located close to St Stephen’s Green Park in Dublin city centre. There will be one indoor performance at the launch of the Dublin Arts and Human Rights Festival in The Ireland Institute, Pearse Street, Dublin 2, on Friday 11 October, 7.30pm. Memorial Monologues: The Path of Memory by Mary Moynihan is adapted from the words of four brave and inspirational human rights defenders from around the world who were murdered because of their peaceful work defending the rights of others.
