Chrysalis Dance is Ireland's only modern ballet company. Based in Galway, the company endeavours to create the highest standards of neo-classical dance.

The Wheelchair On My Face

On Friday, 22nd March, Fishamble Theatre presents the award winning 'The Wheelchair on my Face', a look back at a myopic childhood. Written and performed by Sonya Kelly, this production was winner of the fringe first award at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2012 and is a combination of Little Miss Sunshine meets My Left Foot. ‘I got my first pair of glasses when I was seven. A nurse came to the school and tested everyone’s eyes. And so it was discovered why I’d thrown bread to the floating crisp packets in our local pond and walked into lamp posts and said, ’excuse me’. Until that day the world was a swirl of moving coloured blobs. I thought it was the same for everyone. How wrong I was.’ ‘Part memoir, part theatre and part stand-up comedy’ (Irish Independent), this delightful story of a myopic seven year old is brought to you by actor and comedian, Sonya Kelly (The Savage Eye). Running time 55 minutes.
