Michael Robert Murphy is a Fulbright Scholar in residence at UCC this semester. A director and actor in film and theatre, Michael is head of the graduate filmmaking program at The University of Montana. His recent work explores the relationship between live performance, film reality, and memory. The first two phases of this exploration began playing the title role in Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape, then in the translation of that work into a film (be again 2010). The third phase moves into combining live performance and film, exploring the portal between waking and dreaming, present and past, and the limits of language in describing the experience of reality.

This new work in development, Sleepwalker, will be shown alongside the work of students from UCC also exploring “the invisible made visible.”

Michael is also performing Krapp’s Last Tape during his stay here–March 14, 15, 16 at the Granary Theatre, where he will also be showing and speaking about his work process at a Perforum, Wednesday, March 21st at 6:00

In addition to the inimitable performances by Gare St Lazare Players over the course of the weekend, Gaitkrash announces an exciting collaborative performance event built around Play, another of Beckett’s masterpieces on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 March at 10.30pm in the Half Moon Theatre.
