Dublin Theatre Festival 2023: Abigail Smith and Lioba Petrie create a space for reflection in the evocative Chapel Royal at Dublin Castle
“What is holding you back creatively?” is the question posed by the musicians Abigail Smith and Lioba Petrie, who over the course of an hour endeavour to create a space for reflection, surely aided by the environment we are in, the evocative Chapel Royal at Dublin Castle.
The sounds of nature and birdsong swirl around the room, rooting us in a peaceful atmosphere before Petrie and Smith take to the stage. Weaving in flute, violin, cello and xylophone, their meditative compositions, with influences of classical, folk and traditional, encourage us to “relax” and “breathe”, which might sound like simple commands but can actually be hard to achieve in this overstimulating world.
This hour also brings us back to something fundamental, which is to try to think more clearly. Permission Granted sometimes has a slightly wonky tone, as in a glitchy trip-hop element, but overall it genuinely transports, and while the Chapel Royal is an incredible backdrop, the message is so universal that this show could work anywhere.
