In an era where art is increasingly called upon to do more to provoke, to disrupt, to reimagine — Live Collision stands at the vanguard of Ireland’s Live Art scene. Since its inception in 2009, the festival has meticulously carved out a space where performance transcends medium and convention, unfolding in real time, shaped by the urgency of the moment and the interplay between artist and audience.

Curated by Lynnette Moran, Live Collision is more than a festival; it is an evolving conversation, a site of exchange where the personal and political collide. Here, race, gender, class, disability, and sustainability are not abstract themes but lived realities, explored through work that is as intellectually rigorous as it is viscerally affecting.
