▸Animal Farm

Four women are detained following a protest in Belfast. Under interrogation, they respond not with answers, but with passages from Animal Farm, sparking a fierce debate around free speech, propaganda, and censorship.

As the pressure mounts, the interrogation room fractures into a visceral, imaginative world, as Orwell’s text spills into the space and the protesters bring the book to life.

More than 80 years after Orwell’s landmark satire first hit the page, this bold reimagining speaks powerfully to the present moment.
