Fabulous Beast (Ireland)
Featuring Liam Ó Maonlaí
Director and Choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan
Musical Director Liam Ó Maonlaí
Joyous and exhilarating, the latest creation from Irish dance company Fabulous Beast is a thrilling evening of music and dance.
For this internationally acclaimed work, director and choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan collaborates with composer Liam Ó Maonlaí of Hothouse Flowers, drawing inspiration from Ó Maonlaí’s 2005 solo album Rian (‘mark’ or ‘trace’ in Gaelic).
In a dynamic celebration of Ireland’s roots and traditions, Celtic sounds are mixed with elements of West African music, as eight dancers from around the world unite with five of Ireland’s top musicians.
There is reverie and release as the music propels the dancers across the stage, empowering them to make their mark.
Co-produced by Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre and Sadler’s Wells, London
