Macnas rise from the ashes like the proverbial phoenix and with more gusto than before after last weekend’s cancelled show On the Edge of Things is a Fierce Beauty due to bad weather. Macnas and ABSOLUT Fringe have worked together to put the cherry back on top of this amazing two week festival with a re-staging of this magnificent outdoor event at The National Museum of Ireland, Decorative Arts & History Collins Barracks, Dublin on Sunday 25th September at 7.45 p.m.
Last Saturday Macnas and the ABSOLUT Fringe took the heart-breaking decision to cancel their very special opening performance of On The Edge of Things is a Fierce Beauty due to high winds. This decision was made with the safety of our audience in mind. Both companies have worked non-stop over the past few days behind the scenes to look at rescheduling this incredible performance by Ireland’s leading street theatre and spectacle company, despite the significant logistical and budgetary challenges. We are is now delighted to announce that THE SHOW WILL GO ON! Yes. You read that right. On The Edge of Things is a Fierce Beauty will be performed on the closing night of ABSOLUT Fringe 2011.
In the interest of public safety and utmost fairness to those who may have lost or discarded their tickets, ABSOLUT Fringe will be issuing tickets to this event from Wednesday 14th September at 10am, at the festival box office in Filmbase, Curved Street, Temple Bar only, on a first-come, first-served basis. All tickets for last Saturday’s event are INVALID and patrons who wish to attend, must pick up new tickets as soon as possible from their box office.
This re-staging has been possible thanks to the hard work, heroic dedication and generosity of all at Macnas, ABSOLUT Fringe production and volunteer departments, the National Museum of Ireland, Decorative Arts and History at Collins Barracks and support from their title sponsors ABSOLUT. Restaging this event will prove costly and we would need the support of other courageous souls. You can support Macnas by donating below or by contacting sharon@macnas.com or phone 091-568896.
All donations will go towards the re-staging of this amazing show.
