Cascando
A rhythmic, immersive, group walk based on Beckett's Cascando
Accompany Samuel Beckett’s curious figures into an uncertain future. Attired in dark cloaks and given headphones, audiences are guided through Greenwich Village on this rhythmic, immersive, group walk. Each performance is limited to 20 participants. Pan Pan Theatre brings visceral energy to Cascando, Beckett’s 1963 radio play, transforming it into an absorbing experience in which the audience is part of the spectacle. Featuring the melodic voices of Irish actors Andrew Bennett and Daniel Reardon, Cascando poetically pits words against music. This deeply riveting yet broken tale of a man hopelessly trying to finish a story is directed by Gavin Quinn with sound design and music by Jimmy Eadie.
Audience Role
Guests will don headphones and dark cloaks and will be guided through Greenwich Village.

About Pan Pan Theater
Pan Pan was founded in 1993 by Co-Artistic Directors Aedín Cosgrove and Gavin Quinn. The company has created 43 new theatre and performance pieces and toured worldwide, receiving multiple national and international awards. Since its inception, Pan Pan has constantly examined and challenged the nature of its work and has resisted settling into well-tried formulas. Developing new performance ideas is at the centre of the company’s mission. All the works created are original, either through the writing (original plays) or through the totally unique expression of established writings. Pan Pan tries to approach theatre as an open form of expression and has developed an individual aesthetic that has grown from making performances in a host of different situations and conditions. Pan Pan is committed to presenting performances nationally and internationally and developing links for co-productions and collaborations. The company has toured in Ireland, UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Korea, Australia, New Zealand and China.
