Dublin Dance Festival at the Samuel Beckett Theatre
Monumental
Date: |
Weds 22 May at 9pm & Thurs 23 May at 8pm |
|---|---|
| Company: | Ros Warby (Australia) |
| Details: | Monumental draws from two iconic symbols of classical ballet - the swan and the soldier - to create a richly layered solo. Old 35mm films, projected images and atmospheric lighting combine with a humming cello score. Fleeting movements evoke the vulnerability and strength of human nature, the boldness of youth, and the wisdom of age. Charming and often hilarious, Monumental invites the audience to recognise the innocent bird and the brave, sometimes tainted soldier in all of us. Arresting, enigmatic work - every move she makes is subtle and true Village Voice Duration: 50 mins (no interval) Post-show talk: Thursday 23 May Part of Dublin Dance Festival's Big Island/Small Island strand - bringing the hottest Australian dance to Ireland. |

Dublin Dance Festival at the Samuel Beckett Theatre
Untrained

Date: |
Sat 25 & Sun 26 May at 5pm |
|---|---|
| Company: | Lucy Guerin Inc. (Australia) |
| Details: | Lucy Guerin returns to Dublin Dance Festival with a quirky, irreverent theatrical experience. Four men take to the stage in Untrained. Two are experienced dancers and two have no movement training at all. All are given the same instructions - from basic dance moves to acting out scenes from films. Unavoidable and sometimes humorous comparisons arise between them, but this warm and big-hearted show doesn't mock. Instead it examines how their physical histories set the men apart and reveals a portrait of each one's character. Ms Guerin's concept seems a genuine crowd pleaser ... there were cheers and actual gasps ... as well as plenty of laughter The New York Times Duration: 60 mins (no interval) Post-show talk: Saturday 25 May Part of Dublin Dance Festival's Big Island/Small Island strand - bringing the hottest Australian dance to Ireland. |
