Check out the trailer for This Solution by Shaun Dunne.

A porn set.
A private dance class.
A perpetual agreement.
Cash in hand.

Based on a true story, This Solution is a new documentary theatre hybrid from Shaun Dunne that fuses revelatory testimony with new writing, dance, and original music. Inspired by a young Irish man’s experience of the gay porn industry, this genre-bending new work looks at consent and contracts, regret and rebirth, uniting a compelling team of contemporary artists.

Cast: Adam John Richardson, Jessie Thompson, Adam O’Reilly, Michael McEvoy, & Anderson de Souza.

This production is funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon, with support from Project Arts Centre, Mermaid Arts Centre, Dublin Theatre Festival and field:arts.
