The Wild MUXZ
The Wild MUXZ at the Belltable
In association with The Limerick Writers’ Centre, the Poetry Collective performed the Wild MUXZ on Thursday 15 September 2016 at the Belltable in Limerick. The performance, which lasted for 90 minutes, combined spoken word dialogue, poetry, and ad lib with dance, slide shows and soundtracks created specifically for the event. The themes explored included human’s impact on the ecosystem, human’s relationship with himself and the rest of creation, and the crisis humanity finds itself in through its own stupidity at the present moment.
