HOTEL HAPPINESS

Welcome to Hotel Happiness.

An escape from reality. A retreat from yourself. A place to be whoever you want to be for 24 hours only. A time to switch off, let go, fantasize, forget. With one rule only, you must come completely alone.

Two women find themselves each in their own private customised room. But what happens when their two worlds collide?

Hotel Happiness premiered at Project Arts Centre as part of Dublin Fringe Festival.

Commissioned by Project Arts Centre. Supported by Mermaid, Dublin City Council, and Fishamble’s New Play Clinic and developed at FRINGE LAB.

Below is a video made in development, funded by The Arts Council. 

Created by : Rachel Bergin, Venetia Bowe and Fionnuala Gygax.

Directed by : Michael-David McKernan

Performed by : Venetia Bowe, Kwaku Fortune and Fionnuala Gygax.

Creative Producer: Rachel Bergin

Kiss Kiss Slap Slap

Chaos Factory present a surreal spectacle of beauty, bravery and brutality.

A dressing room.
Three women invite you in.

Kiss Kiss Slap Slap is a multifaceted performance about the Ireland we live in. About the Ireland we could live in. The game is changing, times are shifting and the masks are finally slipping.

Everyone’s a witness.
So where do we go from here?
The jury is still out.

In the wake of #Repeal the Eighth and the #MeToo movement, Kiss Kiss Slap Slap welcomes a changing Ireland, moving forward from past oppressions and microaggressions. Kiss Kiss Slap Slap is looking back but never returning, arriving and trying to define the new.

A fast-paced, irreverent examination of rape culture in Ireland performed by Fionnuala Gygax, Danielle Galligan and Venetia Bowe, Kiss Kiss Slap Slap celebrates solidarity and empowerment.

Play development was supported by Fishamble: The New Play Company’s New Play Clinic.
Chaos Factory were recipients of Dublin City Council's Incubation Space Award 2018.
The award is intended for research and development of new works or collaborative methodologies.
Developed at FRINGE LAB with the support of Dublin Fringe Festival.

MorphMe

Chaos Factory present a distorted phantasy.

Come and search for the self in a hall of deception. What reflects back?

MorphMe is a kaleidoscopic examination of the mind. Of the body. Of how the mind sees the body. With self-altering technology at our fingertips and the bombardment of the latest bodily perfection trends, what lengths will we go to to eradicate our perceived flaws?

A multidisciplinary performance that is both alluding and intimate.

This project is supported by The Arts Council and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

Developed at FRINGE LAB with the support of Dublin Fringe Festival, The Pavilion Theatre with support of The Pavilion Gallery Space Award 2019 and Project Arts Centre.
