The Festival is delighted to welcome to Dublin for the first time one of Europe’s theatrical giants Kristyan Lupa, with his monumental award-winning production, Factory 2. This epic creation revolves around the bohemian glamour of the notorious Andy Warhol Project and his legendary loft in Manhattan's 47th Street.

Blending Warhol's own video works with improvisation and performance, Warhol and his entourage’s exploits are meticulously re-imagined from a period of utopia to a stark present day reality. Featuring the staggeringly talented actors of Krakow's famous Stary Teatr, arguably Poland's leading ensemble, this durational piece of total theatre is a profound mediation on the very process of making art.  

With Factory 2 - winner of the illustrious Europe Theatre Prize - the Festival is proud to present one of the most astonishing pieces of theatre Dublin may ever experience.

Performed in Polish with English surtitles.
