smock alley theatre

scene + heard festival

This collage illustration commemorates the tenth edition of Scene + Heard, a theatrical festival dedicated to new works held annually over two weeks at Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin. To reflect the festival's evolution, the organisers requested a image that balances a retrospective of the previous decade with a forward-looking, playful aesthetic. The 2026 illustration integrates visual elements from every programme cover since the festival’s debut in 2016.
