The Haircut | The Ark Temple Bar
Dublin | Until April 4th

In an Ireland almost like ours, a king hides a secret beneath his long hair. Once a year, on the same night and in the same style, he has it cut—but never by the same barber. Blending folklore with music and imagination, The Haircut is a story of creativity, identity and the courage to be yourself.
