DANCE OF DESIRE
25 February-6 March 2010
Complete with entirely original music and choreography DANCE of DESIRE is undoubtedly unique in its imaginative design. This ground breaking Irish production challenges the boundaries of other Irish dance productions and has uniquely elevated the world of Irish dance to a new level. DANCE of DESIRE is also one of a select few Irish resident and touring dance productions which was actually produced in Ireland and has received critical acclaim not just abroad but also at home in Ireland where creative distinction is reserved for only those who excel amongst their peers within the Irish music and dance traditions.
The show has a cast of 25 performers and comprises world & Irish champion dancers and a selection of Ireland's finest musical and vocal virtuosos. It has already played to sell out audiences from Beijing to Berlin, Chicago to the Czech Republic and Kuala Lumpur to Paris and is currently on a 9 month residency in Jupiter's Casino, Gold Coast Australia performing 8 shows per week and will have performed to in excess of 150,000 people after the run.
The accumulative skills and talents of the costume, set and lighting designers has insured too that the power and passion of the shows story-line devised by Sean Quinlan is conveyed to the audience in a realistic and all encapsulating manner. While the choreography described as "outstanding and extremely innovative" speaks for itself in terms of the heights it reaches and the boundaries that it crosses.
