Originally created at Backstage Theatre for the Dublin Dance Festival in 2022, ‘A Call to You’, Catherine Young’s passionate celebration of life, togetherness and dance, now embarks on a national tour, opening at Backstage on 22nd April 2023. 

‘A Call to You’ emerges from the urgency of the incomprehensible times we live through.  It is a call to come together; to explore the fragility and friction of community. The strength of the many.

Featuring a cast of outstanding international performers and live music directed by Young’s long-time collaborator Martin Schärer, and inspired by Ukrainian folk dance traditions, A Call To You offers an antidote to the imagery of war and the endless rhetoric of politics. As words fail, the body now speaks – untamed and unapologetic.

Catherine Young is Dance Artist in Residence at Backstage Theatre.

This tour is funded by Arts Council’s Touring Award with the support of the NASC network
