Here Lies is the first in a series of live installations by Operating Theatre which retrace Antonin Artaud's journey through Ireland in 1937. Inspired by an apocalyptic vision, the French actor/writer arrived in Cobh, Co. Cork carrying a cane, which he believed to be the staff of St Patrick. His journey brought him to Inis Mór and to Galway, where he stayed in the Imperial Hotel without the means to pay his bill. Some days later he was arrested in Dublin and subsequently deported as an undesirable and destitute alien.
