CONCERTS
Friday 21st November
CAMILLE O' SULLIVAN
Camille O' Sullivan enjoys a formidable reputation for her passionate and dramatic interpretations of the songs of Jacques Brel, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Kurt Weill, David Bowie and more. Her shows are a theatrical event, bursting with sensual energy and a colourful vibrant atmosphere. She is like an actor telling a story through music rather than simply singing songs.
Chameleon like on stage, performing in English, French and German each song becomes a different character that she honestly and painfully inhabits to dramatic effect.
Born in London of a French mother and Irish father Camille moved to Cork, Ireland when she was a child. Prior to running away with the circus 'The Famous Spiegeltent' and performing her solo shows internationally, she spent a year studying Fine Art painting then onto University College Dublin, where she graduated as an Architect.

She sold out 17 nights at the Edinburgh Fringe 2007 (top 5 selling music act) her run at the Sydney Opera House and the 3000 seated State Theatre as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival.
After being spotted in 'La Clique' at the Famous Spiegeltent by Ewan Bremner (Spud from Trainspotting) O'Sullivan co-starred in the Academy Award nominated film Mrs Henderson Presents directed by Stephan Frears, opposite Dame Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins. She has appeared as guest with Damien Rice and dueting with Shane McGowan.
As an actress she's worked with Conall Morrison (Abbey Theatre) and films November Afternoon, On the Edge (John Carney Director 'Once') and Graham Cantwell's L'Etranger. Other projects include Finola Cronin's ( a former soloist with Pina Bausch) critically acclaimed Tanztheatre piece Murder Ballads, Gavin Kosticks One Night Stand and George Kreisler's Tonight Lola Blau and for RTE television 2005 as Lola Monetz in Her Name was Lola. She is recently performed in Sweeney Todd (Selina Cartmell Director at the Gate Theatre Dublin.
O'Sullivan won the prestigious Architectural Association of Ireland Award in 2000 and has exhibited in the Royal Hibernian Academy, Ireland as a painter.
