c21 COMPLETE SUCCESSFUL COLOMBIAN TOUR IN APRIL 2025

Our international tour to Bogotá, Colombia, is the most successful and high profile trip that we have ever embarked upon. Our beautiful little show ‘Expecting’ by Charis McRoberts has given us so much over the last 24 months, in what has been a whirlwind tour of three continents! South America was different though. The people, the culture, the reception.

This really was a special trip. We played at the beautiful Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo with four different languages (Spanish, English, BSL and CSL) within the show and the impact was immense, interacting with many Deaf and hearing organisations in the process. The impossible became possible as conversations flowed seamlessly across cultures before and after the shows. We feel very fortunate to have represented our country with such an important story.

Thanks to our amazing team Paula Clarke, Eoghan Lamb, Ryan Alexander Moffett, Stephen Kelly, Fionnuala Fagan-Thiébot and Chloe McBurney.

Thanks to our funders and supporters: Culture Ireland; British Council, Northern Ireland; British Council, Colombia; Doyle Shipping Group; Theatre and Dance NI and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Lottery Project Funding that helped make the initial show happen in 2023.
