For Nuit Blanche 2014, the CCI has commissioned a new work, Smoking in Bolero, by renowned performance artist Amanda Coogan.

An artistic happening not to be missed, email assistant@centreculturelirlandais.com to take part! Rehearsal 2 October.
Amanda’s exhibition Corpus and our historical exhibition Hospice and Charity are open all night.
Screening: Occupy Wall Street, 7pm - 7am, admission free
Drop-in any time to this special night-long screening of six experimental documentaries by our filmmaker-in-residence Donal Foreman. Occupy Wall Street charts the protest movement that began on 17 September 2011 in Zuccotti Park, New York City; the OWS slogan “We are the 99%” refers to income inequality and wealth distribution in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. Foreman’s enquiring images and sound fragments capture the protesters and the authorities alike.
