Irish Dance Theatre Set to Tie Cardiff in Knots
|
Irish dance theatre company CoisCéim Dance Theatre, brings its multi-award winning show Knots to Wales Millennium Centre from 4-5 December as part of the highly acclaimed Aurora Nova Touring 2007 - one of Edinburgh’s most respected Fringe venues.
Generally regarded as one of the best and most original dance theatre shows in Ireland, Knots won Best Production at the Dublin Fringe Festival before embarking on a national tour of Ireland. It went on to win a Scotsman Fringe First in Edinburgh in 2006, and since has played in Venice as part of the 5th International Festival of Contemporary Dance at the Venice Biennale and at the Ludwigshafen Festspiele in Germany.
Directed by virtuoso choreographer Liam Steel of Stan Won’t Dance, this text-meets-movement dance theatre show unapologetically untangles the complexity of human relationships by juxtaposing brutal and high-octane choreography with the insightful text of Scottish psychoanalyst R.D. Laing.
In a 90-minute series of vignettes with dancers David Bolger (Artistic Director of CoisCéim), Jen Fleenor, Geir Hytten, Eddie Kay, Emma O’Kane and Diane O’Keeffe take audiences on a head trip through the minefield of relationships. Through a series of passionate physical and verbal confrontations the dancers work to unravel the twists, turns and convolutions inherent when we entangle our life and body with someone else’s…and the sad, insidious patterns our minds and hearts are compelled to repeat forever.
CoisCéim has produced world-class dance theatre for the past 11 years and has a reputation for creating quirky theatre that often has a unique take on love and relationships. CoisCéim has danced its way into the hearts of audiences across Ireland and Europe and is sure to once again get crowds talking with its tour throughout the UK this year.
Tickets for Knots are priced at £12 and to book your tickets, contact the WMC ticket and information office on 08700 40 2000 or visit: www.wmc.org.uk |
