Events: Theatre & Dance
Boxes by CoisCéim |
Boxes by CoisCéim DANCEDate Saturday 2nd May Choreographed and Directed by CoisCéim’s Artistic Director David Bolger, dance, imagination and spectacle are packed away in this touching duet for two men. With a pulsating sound score, animation and opulent design, BOXES reaches out to the heart and brings you on a journey of discovery. Cardboard boxes build an environment that sets off a chain of events for the dancers to play within. Ideas and discoveries are collected and transformed when two factory workers start a day at work with a difference. Broadway dancer Jason E. Bernard and Lee Clayden, twice voted Outstanding Male by the Critic's Choice Circle, return to perform in BOXES 2009 to reveal just how fragile our house of cardboard can be. What the press said about the original Boxes: “stand-up-and-cheer dance… an absolute delight which will leave you corrugated with laughter” (RTÉ Guide) ***** a Constant Delight (The Irish Times) "quintessential CoisCéim: imaginative, accessible and unpretentious" (Evening Herald) |

Life, love and youth in a walled town. Post-boom drama through the eyes of the generation who will have to foot the bill. Not so much life in the fast lane as life in the bus lane.
