1975 / Naoi Déag Seachtó Cúig

In this new dance-theatre work, choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan brings together seven exceptional dancers to honour, remember and be inspired by a visionary cultural happening in 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.

Seven dancers. Seven chairs. Seven sharp suits. And one legendary album.

In 1975 / Naoi Déag Seachtó Cúig, we recognise the inevitability of change, the goodness that endures and how to carry it with us through the years ahead.

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.
