Hot on the heels of a successful world premiere at Dublin Theatre Festival, Brokentalkes will stage their latest production at the Black Box Theatre on Wednesday, October 7, at 8pm.
Returning to Galway for their second show of 2026, this internationally renowned and award-winning theatre company’s collaboration with acclaimed theatre-maker Andy Smith is Heroes of Tomorrow.
This new work for theatre considers questions on the purpose of art and what part it can play. It tackles the complexities and contradictions of living in today's world, and asks what role artists can play as it explores these themes and ideas, through the life and work of fictional artist, ‘Jan Hansen’.
Heroes of Tomorrow, tells the story of Jan Hansen. Born in 1974 in Tromsø in Norway, Jan has been resident in Ireland since 2020 with his partner Caoimhe Keenan. His 30-year career has seen him win awards, exhibiting work worldwide at prestigious venues including Astrup Fearnley, Oslo, Tate Modern, London, The Guggenheim Bilbao and IMMA, Dublin.
Jan Hansen is an artist who likes to explore what art is; ask questions of what it can do and where it can happen. The play recognises the human in a world of changing power and perception.
Heroes of Tomorrow runs at the Black Box Theatre, for one night only on Wednesday 7 October 7, at 8pm
Tickets €22/€20 from www.THT.ie
