Outlandish Theatre Platform, founded in 2010 by Bernie O’Reilly and Maud Hendricks, creates new experimental performances through a theatre of enquiry. Engagement with Dublin 8’s diverse communities, as participants and audiences, is central to the company’s process. The found human sense and suffering is presented in uncanny theatre experiences for a diverse local and wider arts audience. Outlandish Theatre Platform operates from a belief in cultural democracy and genuine social engagement, using experimental and participatory processes.
