Eight dancers from around the world share the stage with five of Ireland’s best musicians in Rian (U.S. premiere), a union of traditional Irish music and passionate contemporary dance. Provocative choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan collaborates with Rian’s music director, multidimensional artist Liam Ó Maonlaí, in a production that bypasses the rational mind and resonates somewhere far deeper, as a visceral manifestation of joy and community.
The performances on Nov. 9–10 will be followed by White Light Lounges.
Co-produced by Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre and Sadler’s Wells, London.
Rian is made possible by endowment support provided by the American Express Cultural Preservation Fund.
