As If By Chance is a live site-specific performance on the streets of Tallaght that explores stories of love and intimacy. It takes audiences on a walk through an urban landscape, moments of which they will experience via their mobile phone. The performance features an original soundtrack by composer Robert Coleman.

​

During the walk, audiences will chance upon three couples and witness shared moments between them. These moments are enhanced by songs woven into the performance soundtrack. Songs were commissioned and created by three local songwriters Pius Gojo, Amy Naessens and Nick Stanley.

​

Performance will begin at the entrance of Rua Red, South Dublin County Arts Centre. Please ensure your mobile phone is charged for the performance, we will also have devices available for use.

THE TEAM

The team behind the music have all come through youth music collectives in South Dublin County.  Amy, Nick, Hugh and Rob are past participants of SubSounds, while Pius is a member of NOISE Music. One of the aims of these programmes is to prepare young artists for careers in music, and commissions of this type are invaluable to them. Collaboration is essential for the emerging artist. It broadens their creative vision and their artistic community.
