Mespil In The Dark

Pan Pan

MESPIL IN THE DARK will be presented as four fifteen-minute episodes over four nights. On Sunday 20th June, episode 1 will be presented in 360: an immersive, spherical video where a view in every direction is recorded simultaneously – to fully submerge the viewer into the lives of our artists.

Life was suspended in the Mespil. But underneath, in the darkness, something was coming to pass.


Pan Pan presents MESPIL IN THE DARK, an exploration of the lives of eight actors and artists who live in the same complex of flats in Dublin. We will follow the solo rat runs of each of their normal days and how they tread in and out of each other’s lives. We will observe their daily habits, both private and public. From trimming their toenails to cooking a meal to how they do their laundry. We will hear about their dreams and nightmares and experience with them their hopes and fears and the small coincidental accidents that shape their destinies.


Cast: Andrew Bennett, Ned Dennehy, Olwen Fouéré, Rian Murphy, Tadhg Murphy, Anna Sheils- McNamee, Karim Tamu, Ashley Xie.


Presented as part of Brightening Air | Coiscéim Coiligh, a nationwide, ten day season of arts experiences brought to you by the Arts Council. To see the full Brightening Air | Coiscéim Coiligh programme, visit www.brighteningair.com
