Nothing Special

Harun Morrison

Nothing Special has previously been performed at Artsadmin, London; Centrale Fies, Dro, Italy, and Tulca Festival of Visual Arts, Galway.

Live Collision performances will be in both English and Irish. The Irish translation was developed by Máiréad Ní Chróinín and Kate Nic Chonaonaigh in the context of Tulca Festival of Visual Arts 2021.
