Bui Bolg Theatre Creations to be Showcased in St Patrick’s Day Celebrations

Bui Bolg, one of Ireland's premier street theatre, entertainment & community arts companies, have been busy creating new pieces for many of the parades across the country on St Patrick's Day.

The Bui Bolg workshop in Wexford has for the last few weeks been turned into fantastical fairground with amazing spinning floats and quirky characters to star in the St. Patrick's Festival Parade in Dublin. In this year's parade, themed "Extraordinary world", Bui Bolg will be highlighting the mundane absurdity of everyday life as the freaks are putting on a "normal show".

Bui Bolg's pageant, named Bizarre Bazaar, will exhibit the strange goings on of Nintendo Boy, the wild accountants, the greedy clowns and even the tireless efforts of Merry Go Housework. This spectacular parade will be performed by members of the Bui Bolg Youth Group from Wexford and dancers from the Martina Leacy School of Dance from Enniscorthy. Weird and wonderful characters will include stilt walking Lions and Unicorns and talking Hamsters and Polar Bears who will be exhibiting the peculiar and puzzling antics of so the called "ordinary" world, or as Bui Bolg sees it . . . extra - ordinary!

Bui Bolg creations - floats, costumes and props - will also be on display from Kilkenny and Cork to Dundalk and Ballon as well as in their home town in Wexford and Enniscorthy.

The Wexford St. Patrick's Day Parade will feature Bui Bolg's "Space Race" including a magnificent Rocket.
