About the Show
Three friends, two worlds and fifteen mad years. A Dubliner in Dakar brings his Senegalese teachers to a very white 1990s Dublin, where destruction is a necessary part of the creative force of a city on the brink of redevelopment. A personal story about life, death and regeneration told with a unique blend of live music, theatre and projections with a sprinkling of Irish humour.

This is not only a one-man show it is also a one-man band. Fleming beat-boxes, sings, mimics and plays a never-ending variety of drums, looping and re-looping all to create a richly evocative aural tapestry. Fleming recounts his 20 plus year love affair with the titular bongos and the cultural exchange that helped shape his life and saw him travel from the flats of Fatima to the depths of Senegal and back again

This play was very successful at the ABSOLUT Fringe Festival, performed at sold out shows throughout Ireland and most recently in India and New York. This is one show you must not miss!
