What's on in Waterford: Live music, film, theatre and more

The Collector: The Presence of Absence will be performed at Garter Lane.
This October sees Aerie return to Irish shores eight years after their previous appearance.
The pan-European jazz group has since released two more albums and performed over 90 shows around Europe and Asia. They have also had a change in the bass chair and are now a quartet instead of a quintet.
Led by saxophonist Ingo Hipp, Aerie was founded in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 2013. As a modern European jazz ensemble, Aerie’s members represent Ireland, Germany and Switzerland.

Energetic new circus and theatre explores the fantastical but isolated life of a man who has closed himself off from the outside and has built his own world from the discarded scraps of society.
Directed by award-winning choreographer Eddie Kay, and blending circus, projections, physical theatre and a unique soundtrack into a celebration of the unexpected, The Collector explores social isolation, mental health, and finding wonder in the seemingly eccentric.
