This documentary piece, filmed in The Big Romance, one of the many spaces that has had to close its doors for nearly a year is a kaleidoscopic view of Dublin’s nightlife culture.

Curated by The Big Romance & Homebeat, with performances from Sunil Sharpe, R. Kitt and music from Dreamcycles, ‘A Celebration of Irish Nightlife’ takes us on a trip around Dublin city as we hear from those affected by lockdown as they look ahead to returning to dance floors soon. It’s a celebration of the music that moves so many dancefloors all over the country.

We’ll hear from many people throughout the industry to get their thoughts. What will be left of nightlife when things reopen? How much will change? And what can we do to make this an experience for the better?

Dublin is a thriving city late at night, we hope this piece captures what is possible when we can dance again.
