SISTER is a new co-production between Eoghan Carrick + Lauren Jones and Figs in Wigs.​

 

We set out to make a show about the Silver Sisterhood and the cult’s extraordinary ascension from medieval primitivism, through Victorian moralism and to sex work and coding videogames for the commadore 64. But the deeper we researched, the less clear the show became. The facts felt staged. Testimony contradicted testimony. The real people felt fictional and the fictional real. The Sisterhood seemed to exist most powerfully in the act of being performed.

 

So SISTER became something else: a show about trying to tell that story. Blurring documentary and fiction, lecture and game, SISTER is an unsettling exploration of collective creation, myth-making and power.

SISTER is currently in development with Arts Council of Ireland Arts Grant Funding with support from Dublin Theatre Festival and the Irish Theatre Institute. Produced by COBA: Cian O'Brien Arts.
