Dance: Dances Like a Bomb by Junk Ensemble at the Project Arts Centre
28 - 29 Mar 2024, 8:00 pm - 8:00 pm (Past)
A powerful, uplifting duet exploring ageing and care, blending visceral imagery, dance and music.
Celebrating the strength of mature bodies and challenging the cult of youth, the show is a reclaiming of the ageing body created by dance-theatre innovators Junk Ensemble. Featuring acclaimed actor Mikel Murfi and leading dance artist Finola Cronin (formerly of Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal) the performers are heroic, vulnerable, comedic, and completely themselves in the work.
They care fiercely for each other and defend their independence. As they hold each other up and push each other down, the ‘performance’ of age is unpacked as a reminder of ourselves: our worst and our best.
Project Arts Centre and Junk Ensemble are thrilled to present an ISL interpreted performance by Caoimhe Coburn Gray, followed by an ISL interpreted talk with performers Finola Cronin and Mikel Murfi, co-creators Jessica Kennedy and Megan Kennedy, and moderated by Cian O’Brien on Thursday, March 28.
