Monday / Dé Luain
Set to the iconic 1975 album by Irish traditional group The Bothy Band, 1975 | Naoi Déag Seachtó Cúig is a must-see dance and theatre performance ritual where music and movement merge as one.
In this new dance-theatre work, choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan brings together Five exceptional dancers to honour, remember and be inspired by a visionary cultural happening in dark and challenging times.
In Keegan-Dolan’s world of movement, story and energy, the dancers move from wild expressive freedom to a reflective stillness, their personal histories unfolding within the rhythms of traditional Irish music.
Five dancers. Five chairs. Five sharp suits. And one legendary album.
In 1975 | Naoi Déag Seachtó Cúig, we recognise the inevitability of change, the goodness that endures and how we can learn to carry it with us through the years ahead.
The Bothy Bands self-titled debut album 1975, became one of the most influential recordings in Irish music history, inspiring generations of musicians worldwide.
Ceannródaithe agus rímháistrí ea ba iad sa gceol traidisúnta, go dtugadar a bhfuinneamh pléascach do.
With just 75 seats each night, this is something rare: up close, alive, and unrepeatable.
Teaċ Daṁsa (Loch na hEala / Swan Lake, MÁM, How to be a Dancer in 72,000 Easy Lessons, NOBODADDY), based in the West Kerry Gaeltacht / Gaeltacht Chorca Dhuibhne, is internationally renowned for creating powerful dance-theatre ritual rooted in place and community.
“I have always dreamed of making a dance theatre work to one complete music album. Of all the albums in all the world, it had to be 1975, by The Bothy Band.”
– Michael Keegan-Dolan
