A subversive game played by three unruly players

The Whistle II invites the audience to participate by following a simple rule: When you hear the sound of a whistle, close your eyes. When you hear it again, open them.

This simple rule quickly becomes a playful experiment in perception. Three performers, each playing their own game, invite the audience to co-create the piece through rhythmic “edits” of seeing and not-seeing.

Between each blink of darkness, new worlds emerge: poetic, absurd, and hilariously unpredictable. A unique, multi-disciplinary performance that explores rhythm, rules, and power (of the imagination).

The Whistle II is a Squarehead Production directed and written by Darragh Mc Loughlin.
It was made in collaboration with, and is performed by: Elysia Mc Mullen, Donal Mc Connon and Nina Illouz.

Declan Mee worked as the primary dramaturge and outside eye.
