An Irishman’s wild odyssey across America set ablaze by 9/11.
An Irishman’s odyssey for identity through the nightmare landscape of a world set ablaze by 9/11. Set across North America, Christopher embarks on a wild pilgrimage home for the birth of his son, but is relentlessly thwarted by outside forces.
This renegade, adventure story weaves together a text rich with verbal pyro-technics, a haunting soundscape, and psychedelic visuals. Written by award-winning playwright Philip Doherty, performed by Rex Ryan (Best Actor nomination ’13) and directed by Aoife Spillane-Hinks, 'Pilgrim' is an avalanche of voice, sound and movement through a tapestry of grotesque worlds and outlandish characters, with allusions to classical myth.
