The DUETS programme champions professional artists working in pairs to tell one-of-a-kind stories using the unique combination of their skills.The DUETS artists are supported by the combined expertise of all three partners: dramaturgy and development support from Fishamble, networking and producing know-how from ITI and the creative platform of Dublin Fringe Festival.

Plagued by lockdown babies, engagement photoshoots, and dog Instagram accounts, Saorla endures a long-distance relationship when her boyfriend leaves Belfast to pursue his dreams. 
Dead plants, dead-end job, and a dead relationship? 
This film/theatre hybrid is for the hopeless romantics and for the ones who are still figuring it out. Fall in love with Belfast and most importantly, fall in love with yourself again.  
Please note: Contains reference to mental health.

Supported by and filmed at The MAC, Belfast.
Eleanora Salter and the Monster from the Sea
Jane Madden & Clodagh Mooney Duggan

A strange but sweet love story, this new play tells the tale of a lonely lighthouse keeper who embarks on a supernatural romance with a mysterious voice on her radio. Is it a monster, a stranger, a ghost? 
Accompanied by the voices and sounds of things real and imagined, Eleanora creates a richly theatrical soundscape full of weird and wondrous fantasy.
Rescue Annie
Lauren Shannon Jones & Eoghan Carrick

A live show about a dead woman. 
Outside the Louvre in Paris, a woman’s face is taken without permission. It becomes more famous than she ever was. You’ve seen her without realising who she is. You might have even kissed her. 
This new live theatre performance explores the twin human obsessions of intimacy and autonomy in a show that begins in an intimacy coordination workshop and ends with an out-of-body experience.
Please note: Contains use of smoke machines and strobe lighting, reference to mental health, suicide and sexual violence

Funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon, produced by Once Off Productions.
