A
touching, visually enchanting and yet
thought-provoking all-female performance,
The Wallpaper
deals with the perception of “madness” and
explores the fine line between reality and
hallucination through the combination of
contemporary dance and physical theatre
with live music and texts both performed
both in French and English.
Fleet of Feet
is a Franco-Irish theatre company founded by
Stella Godmet and Léa Wéber in
October 2016 featuring artists from Ireland,
France, Spain and Argentina. |

Often cited by Quentin Tarantino as
being his personal favorite and a large
influence on his picture Reservoir Dogs,
Le Doulos (slang for “informant”)
is a brutal, twisting,
multilayered, visually striking crime
drama. Featuring masterfully stylized
performances and shot with Jean-Pierre
Melville’s trademark cool, Le Doulos
is one of the most gripping films noir.
Jean-Paul Belmondo is the enigmatic
gangster Silien, who may or may not be
responsible for squealing on Faugel (Serge
Reggiani), just released from the slammer
and already involved in what should have been a
simple heist.

Edme de Saux, born in Beaune, Burgundy,
in 1813, was a member of the local gentry and a
keen traveller.During the first half of the 19th
century, he journeyed around the South East
of France immortalising landscapes and
buildings. In these drawings, the artist
captures the remains of the Ancient Roman
Empire and the country’s medieval past, as
they stood blended into everyday life.
All are executed with pencil on paper and are
beautifully detailed.
De Saux’s drawings were found some years ago in
the attic of an old Burgundy house and
loaned to the
Hunt Museum Limerick.
