Upcoming events

User Not Found can now be experienced as a video podcast. In 2020, Co-Artistic Director Terry O’Donovan reprised his celebrated performance for a new digital adaptation of the critically acclaimed 2018/19 live performance. With support from digital development agency, The Space and Arts Council England, Dante or Die created a virtual site-specific world which explores the ethics of digital ownership, public and private grief and shifting notions of connection and community. The podcast version of User Not Found can be found here.
