After The Rain, One Year On

One year ago we hosted the phenomenal After The Rain by Compagnie XY.

Did you spot some of our acrobat friends in the ceremonies of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games?

Watch this brand new short film by Simon Mills which follows our journey with them and our local artists over the course of a year.

AFTER THE RAIN is a new work by Compagnie XY inspired by the people and the city of Derry in Northern Ireland.

It was first performed inside the Guildhall and outside in Guildhall Square, Derry City, on 27th and 28th August 2023.

It completed a year-long project with artists and communities in the city, beginning with a production of Les Voyages Derry-Londonderry in September 2022 and ending with the delivery of After The Rain, a new work developed with and inspired by the city and its people in August of 2023.

Commissioned by IWM 14-18 NOW Legacy Fund in partnership with Ulster Presents at Ulster University and was co-produced by In Your Space Circus, Derry, in association with Circusful, Belfast and supported by Institut Francais.
