Musical Globe

North Circular is a documentary musical that travels the length of Dublin's North Circular Road, from the Phoenix Park to Dublin Port, exploring the history, music and streetscapes of a street that links some of the country's most beloved and infamous places. It features disparate, marginal urban characters, and, as it progresses along the street, explores numerous themes and histories. Told in black and white 4:3 Academy ratio, the film evokes many narratives from the history of the city and nation, from colonialism, to mental health, to the struggle for women’s liberation and gentrification. It features musical performances from local artists, employing the folk music of the area as a narrative storytelling device.
