From Black Box teater’s season programme for 2023:

"Stonework is about vibrations, temperature and gravity, and about two bodies trying to understand each other. The performance is exploratory and playful. It is based on a desire to enter into an equal relationship with the stone and create a performance that takes account of the stone's perspective and inner life. Composer Seán ó Dálaigh has created music based on this stone's unique frequency. In this universe that lies on the border between physical theatre, installation and concert, can we perhaps become infected with a more intimate relationship with stones?"
