Each year in May, Dublin Dance Festival presents the best Irish and international dance performances in venues throughout the city to a growing and evolving audience. DDF is a vital platform for artists and the creation of new work. We generate opportunities for artists, both nationally and internationally, through residencies, commissions and partnerships and by encouraging artistic collaboration, experimentation, risk-taking and innovation in dance.
Roberto Castello – ALDES: In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni
The cold glow of a video projector illuminates a rugged black and white space, setting the scene for an immersive and disconcerting exploration of the human condition. Four dancers move together, never communicating directly, yet finding small moments of contact, even tenderness. Like characters in a Beckett play, they are relentlessly driven to carry on. In this enigmatically titled work, We go around at night and are consumed by fire, controversial Italian choreographer Roberto Castello fuses cinema, dance and theatre to offer insights into a life fueled by endless desire.
Tuesday 7th – Wednesday 8th May – 7.30pm
Project Arts Centre, 39 Essex St. East, Dublin 2
