The man in the mirror has turned towards us. He is smiling and offering his hand to the camera. It’s a queer sort of smile: anxious, hopeful, despairing, painful, friendly, warm, lost, confused, battered, dogged abandoned, generous, frightened, hurt, shocked, determined and ragged, but most of all genuine. I know it is genuine because it is my smile and I am truly pleased to meet you. Welcome to the desert.

For the past twenty years Oscar McLennan has been performing his own monologues which combine a surreal black humour with the emotional intensity of theatre. He has toured extensively in Ireland, the UK and North America. .
Anne Seagrave is a Dublin based artist who devises vocal and movement performances, soundworks for stage and radio, slide projections and video art, installational and site specific performances.
