Welcoming an audience into a fictional restaurant, a sculptural feast is served, inedible, yet designed to delight the senses
Stéphane Béna Hanly is a Dublin-based multidisciplinary artist working mainly through sculpture and performance. Since 2018, Stéphane has regularly participated in Epstein's projects, while also exhibiting across Ireland and internationally, including at the Project Arts Centre (2015), Schreitercher Herbst Festival in Graz, Austria (2015), IMMA (2021), Espace 3353 in Geneva (2022), and Broadcast Immersive Fictional Radio on Dublin Digital Radio (2022). Most recently, they performed An Experimental Sculptural Demonstration at The Pearse Centre (2025).
Isadora Epstein, an artist working in Dublin, develops performances based on her research into art history. Her performances forge connections across disciplines, bringing together artists involved in visual art, experimental music, and dance. Recent commissions include performances at the Hugh Lane Gallery, Project Arts Centre, Royal Hibernian Academy, Irish Museum of Modern Art, the Douglas Hyde Gallery, and Ormston House.
Méabh McKenna is a multi-instrumental noise maker from the East of Ireland, utilising the pedal and early Irish harp, voice, and electronics. Drawing on years of experimentation and collaboration, their live performances have evolved from traversing the eclectic worlds of traditional, classical, and early music, intuitively weaving them with contemporary and electronic elements.

Beckett and the wake
How do you photograph a man like Samuel Beckett?
On 4 November at 6:30 PM, join us for a special evening celebrating acclaimed Irish photographer John Minihan for a presentation at Casa, 17 South Frederick Street, Dublin. Minihan will share stories and insights behind his photographic series, The Wake of Katy Tyrrell, taken in his hometown of Athy, and his iconic portraits of Samuel Beckett in Paris and London.
John Minihan is a renowned Irish photographer celebrated for capturing intimate portraits of literary and artistic figures, as well as everyday life. His impressive body of work showcases his talent and unique perspective in portraying personalities like Francis Bacon and Samuel Beckett. For years, his photographs have graced the walls of Dunne & Crescenzi, adding a distinctive artistic touch to the restaurant's ambience.
We're so grateful to have him come and speak about his work.
