Ireland’s dance theatre vanguards, CoisCéim Dance Theatre are back in Dún Laoghaire this summer with DANCEHALL BLUES – the award-nominated triumph from Dublin Fringe 2024! David Bolger’s “expertly ingenious” (The Irish Times) duet unfolds in a surreal dancehall at dusk, where reality and imagination blur. Two performers, Emily Kilkenny Roddy and Alex O’Neill, dance with fearless abandon, their powerful movements cutting through chaos to ignite hope in a world where dreams and nightmares collide. Bold, gripping, unmissable.
