Branar
Based in the West of Ireland since 2001, Branar is one of Ireland’s leading theatre companies making work for children. Renowned for creating highly imaginative and beautiful work, Branar tours nationally and internationally. Their company’s motto is ‘serious fun’.
Aiming to instill not just wildness inside us but wonder, joy, curiosity and compassion, Branar views every child in Ireland and beyond as an equal citizen of the world who should be nurtured through engagement with exceptional arts experiences. Filled with wonder and creativity, their world and the world around them will be more fulfilling for all.
The company tours nationally and internationally, bringing its work with equal enthusiasm to leading arts venues such as the South Bank Centre, London as to a local school in Galway. Branar is committed to reaching its audience, wherever they are.
