Ormston House variety show to bring audiences ‘Upside Down and Underground’
Isadora Epstein and Stéphane Béna Hanly host Upside Down and Underground, a ‘variety show from the underworld’ with Ormston House at the Belltable Theatre
Ormston House presents Upside Down and Underground by Isadora Epstein in collaboration with the Belltable Theatre this Saturday, July 20

Upside Down and Underground by Isadora Epstein is a new “variety show from the underworld”, hosted by Epstein and Stéphane Béna Hanly.
The audience on the evening will be treated to performances by dancer Aoibhinn O’Dea; musicians Róisín ní Hacéid, Paddy Critchley, and Mícheál Keating; and DJ Tom Prendergast.
Isadora Epstein writes and makes performances from her research of art history and mythology. Her performances are joyful acts of remembrance which offer up the ridiculous fantasy of immortality through the making of temporary fictional worlds.
Living and working in Dublin, Epstein has had performances at Temple Bar Gallery & Studios, RHA, Sirius Art centre, the Royal Irish Academy, the Hugh Lane, and at TULCA. She is a current recipient of the Visual Art Bursary in 2023, was awarded the Constance de Markievicz Award 2019, and received Agility Awards in 2021 and 2022. She recently developed new commissioned performances for IMMA (September 2023), the Joyce Centre (November 2023), and the Mermaid Arts Centre (March 2024).
Costume design by Amie Egan will give the show an extra edge, join Ormston House at the Belltable Theatre on Saturday, 20 July 2024 at 9 pm with tickets priced at €10.
Ormston House is a meeting place for the arts in the heart of Limerick City offering a programme co-designed with artists and citizens, resulting in community partnerships, multi-annual projects, and cultural events that are responsive to the city and its context. The group have developed a participatory model to connect curatorial practice with local knowledge and activism.
