The Year That I got Younger
International Artist Aindrias de Staic returns to Adelaide Fringe Festival to perform his new show
The Year That I got Younger
at the Fringe Factory
2-22 March
Having Recently performed the show in Edinburgh and New York, Aindrias' show is about his epic journey to give up drinking, from dealing ecstasy pills smuggled from Dublin in felt pens, and smoking crack with his mate before watching him float off down a river in his fiddle case, and has been described by The Scotsman as The one addiction de Staic's incapable of kicking is music, and since he's lost his violin, he has to find alternative fixes - from blowing a teapot to tooting atonally on plastic pipe with a condom on top, played through a loop peddle to create a freaky cacophony - a gut-bustingly funny experience
As a film maker, musician, performer and eclectic story teller Aindrias de Staic wears many hats and sprints a creative pace that would make most of us weep. As well as touring the international comedy and music festival route including Edinburgh Fringe, New York and Melbourne, the Film and Theatre projects Aindrias is working on and has worked on a number of films including:
Malarkey with director Joe Loh, the story of an Irish Musician searching for an Australian ancestral gold rush fortune was written and produced by Aindrias de Staic and Joe Loh.
The film was made in 24 hours as part of the Geelong shot out and won BEST DIRECTOR for Joe Loh's work, and BEST ACTOR for Aindrias. The short film screened internationally including Prague Film festival and Galway Film Festival.
THE YEAR I GOT YOUNGER, initially written as a full length feature script, the piece was performed as a theatre spectacle which won nominations in Edinburgh Fringe 08 as a fiction piece. Director Gen Bailey made a short documentary based on the script The Year I Got Younger as a trailer for the feature project. This short went on to win BEST IRISH SHORT DOCO at Ireland's Premier Film Festival. The Doco Short Also won 1 prize at the LOVE YOUR WORK screenings in Melbourne.
