This stirring new work by Catherine Young Dance (Floating on a Dead Sea and State of Exception) urges us to re-member, to re-connect with our past, with nature and with each other. Collecting fragments of native wisdoms, myths and kinships, CISEACH builds the wattled causeway, the ciseach, to guide us to solid ground.

This pulsating show weaves together a tapestry of dance, rhythm, live music and voice, and seeks to rekindle our broken relationship with the land.

After an incredible response with instant standing ovations from audiences in Longford and Dublin last year, we are thrilled to have CISEACH return.

*****

Audience reaction to CISEACH…

“Magnificent! A must see for sure”
“We absolutely loved it!!!”
“The music was so beautiful!”
“Thank you all for an amazing performance”

*****

A group of five dancers perform energetically on a reflective stage, lit dramatically. They wear earth-toned outfits, conveying intensity and teamwork. Five people lean over a wooden ciseach in, their reflections visible in the golden floor beneath them. They appear focused and collaborative, creating a mood of teamwork and concentration.
