Dog and Sting are a touring theatre founded in 1995. The company is based in County Clare and has toured in Ireland, The UK, Greece,Spain and France performing in Art Centres, Theatres, Festivals, Community Halls, schools and on the street.The group was founded by professional visual artists who felt there was an opportunity to bring visually stimulating work to younger audiences who did not have easy access to art galleries or theatres. In the spirit of multidisciplinary art work Dog and String has brought together musicians who act, sculptors who write, artists who are puppeteers, trolls that dance and actors who teach.
Dog and String will perform their latest work "The Wishing Tree" at the New Cobh Community Centre on Saturday 20th June at 2pm & 4pm.
Long before the fairy Godmother came on the scene Cinderella's wishes were granted by a magic tree, the Wishing Tree. There is a saying, 'Be careful of what you wish for because it might come true.'
These stories investigate the way in which our inner vision creates the world around us. Azal wishes for friends, Cinderella wants to go to the ball and the Old Woman wants to live in a big house. The fairy Godmother is the spirit of The Wishing Tree and her generosity knows no bounds unless you get greedy. This production explores a broad range of puppetry from life size puppets to animated objects and shadow puppetry.
Admission to this event is €5 each and tickets can be purchased in advance at Sirius Arts Centre!
