On April 17th 2016, Kabosh, in partnership with the South and East Belfast committee of Ag Fìorú na Poblachta, brought the history and heritage of the Short Strand to life in a one-off promenade event. Combining spectacle, theatre and music this unique outdoor performance marked 100 years since the Easter Rising as audiences were brought on a journey through the Short Strand, encountering previous residents connected with the events of Easter week in Dublin 1916.
Four original plays were performed in exterior locations across the Strand by a team of esteemed local actors supported by costumed actors and singers from the community.
This event was free to the local community and over 200 experienced the premiere performance.
