Jo Ventor is an inventor. The world is experiencing a climate crisis. Cork is a desert and chameleons are everywhere. R0-be is a robot who knows everything; well when he works he does. Can Jo fix R0-be in time to save the world and do two heads work better than one?

NEST was a visionary, artistically ambitious project of scale, brought to life through collaboration with 23 leading multi-disciplinary artists - playwrights, theatre makers, spoken word artists, dance artists, and music artists - tasked with producing 23 brand new contemporary works that map our present through the eyes of our children and young people. Led by Artistic Director, Veronica Coburn, NEST's new pieces of work were first performed in homes and schools across Dublin 15, on the 1st of March 2024 to the children’s peer audiences. Then the shows returned to Draíocht for one week as part of the much anticipated Spréacha Soar Festival for Children & Young People, 11-16 March 2024, when the public and wider community enjoyed these new creations on Draíocht's stages.

NEST was based on HOME THEATRE, an original idea by Marcus Vinicius Faustini (Brazil) and Kerry Kyriacos Michael (UK). Draíocht’s iteration, HOME THEATRE (Ireland), took place in 2018.
NEST was funded by ART: 2023, a Decade of Centenaries Collaboration between The Arts Council and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
