September 2024 saw the premiere of a new devised work by Gare St. Lazare for the Dublin Theatre Festival called Shades Through a Shade. It was a devised piece connecting texts from Beckett, Dante and Melville, (amongst others). And using an ensemble of musicians and actors whom all had choreographed movement to form a freely improvised one act work. It was Directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett, the music was composed by Benedict Schlepper Connelly and the costumes by Valentina Gambardella. Great thanks to Big Image Ltd for the large scale printing reproductions of three monoprints by Irish artist Morgan Doyle which was the base visual material when devising the set design.
