It’s a festival of “Live Art, with a vast international programme of live performance, digital interactions, dialogues, exhibitions and publications never before shown in Ireland.” It takes place at a variety of venues around the city but its main home is the Project Arts Centre, and you can find full details here.

Following last year’s sold out-success, Live Collision International Festival is back for it’s 6th run.

Across 5 days, Ireland’s leading festival of Live Art will emerge from Project Arts Centre, with a vast programme of international and Irish artists, presenting live performance, digital interactions, dialogues, exhibitions and publications never before shown in Ireland.

Live Collision presents extraordinary opportunities for artists and audiences, and their role within the city, to collide and engage in a way unlike any other festival.
