Inspired by the photography of Pelle Cass, the creative for Dublin Fringe Festival 2022 features multiples of three of this year’s performers: Léann Herlihy, Dafe Orugbo, and Anna Clifford. The trio strike an array of poses that bring to life the core themes and effervescent energy of the festival. Three themes were central to the festival’s 2022 curatorial statement: rest, rage and revelry. Each of these was considered a means of dealing with the stresses and strains of the previous two years of COVID-19-related dangers and restrictions. Each of these feelings is in all of us — we contain multitudes! — so we represented the themes in a series of abstracted poses by our artists in a performance space, that endangered species so crucial to the artist and to the festival itself.
