The red shoes

Bad thoughts, words and places… Face it and liberate yourself!

About the show: 

Growing up in Ireland, stories of shame, guilt and bad thoughts… but what will the neighbours say?

The Red Shoes is a story that takes place in a Vipassana meditation Centre… It’s all about sitting with the things we avoid. Learning how to free the mind from suffering. Is that even possible? 10 days of seated meditation for 10 hours a day… just you and your mind… let’s see what comes up.

It’s all about being human.
