SUMMARY:Diarmuid Breen | A place to be
DESCRIPTION:Diarmuid Breen | A place to be  \n01– 31 October 2026  \nLAVIT GALLERY  \nOpening reception Thursday 01 October\, 5.30-7.30pm. Wine by Bubble Brothers  \nArtist talk\, Saturday 10 October\, 12pm  \n“I create paintings that explore work and the human experience of working. My artwork focuses on the routines\, pressures\, and expectations that shape everyday life\, often highlighting how work can become repetitive\, exhausting\, or overwhelming. Alongside this\, my paintings include a quieter subplot about the importance of free time. I am interested in the contrast between moments of labour and moments of rest\, and how rare and meaningful unstructured time can be. These moments are shown as pauses\, empty spaces\, or shifts in mood that suggest relief\, reflection\, or freedom. They represent the human need to exist beyond constant responsibility. I use paint\, colour\, and composition to emphasise repetition and structure within work environments\, while allowing freer marks and softer elements to appear in scenes of rest. This contrast mirrors the tension between obligation and personal time. Through my work\, I hope viewers reflect on their own relationship with work and consider the value of rest as an essential part of being human.” Diarmuid Breen\, 2026.

SUMMARY:BARE
DESCRIPTION:Bare is an intimate\, immersive theatre experience that invites audiences into a living gallery of human vulnerability. Set within a museum-style space\, the production presents a collection of “live exhibits” — individuals suspended in moments of emotional and psychological exposure. Each character stands at a crossroads\, grappling with private struggles\, inner conflicts\, and the quiet battles that shape their lives. There is no fourth wall here. Instead\, the audience steps inside the world of the piece\, moving through the space as witnesses to raw\, unfiltered humanity.​ \nIn keeping with its title\, the characters are entirely nude — physically\, emotionally\, and mentally laid bare. Their nudity is not ornamental\, but symbolic: a stripping away of armour\, status\, and disguise. In this state of total exposure\, they share the truths they carry\, inviting the audience to encounter them without barrier or pretence. \nBare offers an invitation to engage. Audience members decide which character’s story unfolds\, choosing who will share and how deeply the encounter goes. They may ask questions\, enter into conversation\, or even offer their own experiences in response. The performance shifts and reshapes according to the curiosity\, empathy\, and courage in the room. Some may choose to simply observe; others may step into dialogue. With audiences admitted in small groups for one-hour sessions\, each experience becomes distinct — a shared\, ephemeral exploration of connection\, confession\, and the fragile beauty of being truly seen.
