About the show

A new documentary theatre dance hybrid interrogating the intersection of gym culture and addiction in Dublin. Infusing street dance, music and video, this unflinching work explores the gyms as cultural spaces, where stories converge, and bodies are broken as well as built. Based on a series of interviews, BULK sheds light on issues surrounding male adolescence, fractured relationships, body dysmorphia and stimulant abuse. This is a chance to see a new WIP from one of the most exciting writers from across the UK and Ireland, part of the Shed Originals script development programme in partnership with Abbey Theatre.
