The Complex throws open its doors to cult favourites Meltybrains? as they make a long-awaited return to Dublin Fringe Festival. Seven years on, the Irish act re-emerges with a visceral, genre-defying live show that delves into 21st-century digital existence through a collaborative ritual of fear, escapism, addiction, collective release and transcendence.


This electrifying new piece collides high-energy music with movement, visuals and surreal theatricality. It’s more than a return it’s a euphoric resurrection and a plunge into our shared apocalyptic fantasies.


Absurd and sacred in equal parts, This-Topia is part theatre, part rave, part group exorcism a kinetic unraveling that asks what becomes of us when identity falls apart, and what waits beyond the wreckage.
