We’re delighted to share some wonderful news as Galway based organisation Rosán Sensory Adventures, founded by Phillida Eves, brings their immersive and inclusive show Antarctica! on a bold sensory expedition to New York City. The crew will perform for neurodiverse audiences at the Lincoln Centre Big Umbrella Festival from 17 - 19 April and again from the 24 - 26.

The adventurers will then travel onwards to their next top secret location, which will be announced in the coming weeks on their social media channels. This international tour marks a significant moment for inclusive Irish theatre, placing work created with and for young people with additional needs on two of the world’s most prestigious stages.

With its focus on survival, solidarity and shared endeavour, Antarctica! invites every audience member to become part of the crew. As the expedition unfolds, the boundaries between performer and spectator dissolve, creating a shared sensory landscape where communication goes beyond words.

Antarctica! was commissioned by Baboró International Arts Festival for Children through funding from the RTÉ Toy Show Fund, as part of Baboró’s strategic goals which prioritises that ‘Artists will be supported to make exciting, innovative work for children and young people’. We are proud to have played a part in the initial development of this incredible work and look forward to seeing how it continues to grow, uplift and inspire.
