"Artists bring personal stories to Dublin Fringe Festival"
"Two Irish artists in this year's Dublin Fringe Festival are exploring the unique relationship that neurotypical children have with their neurodivergent siblings."
"Cork actress and playwright Cara Christie will stage Brambles, about two sisters, one of whom has autism, forced to live together in adulthood."
Two Irish artists at the Dublin Fringe Festival explore the distinctive bonds between neurotypical children and their neurodivergent siblings. The work examines emotional complexity, long-term caregiving dynamics, and identity negotiation when neurodivergence is present in the family. Cork actress and playwright Cara Christie will stage Brambles, a play focused on two sisters now forced to live together in adulthood after a lifetime of shared history. One sister has autism, and the production probes daily routines, dependency patterns, and the tension between autonomy and obligation. The pieces highlight lived experience and aim to broaden public understanding of sibling relationships in neurodiverse families.
