Be still our dancing, beating hearts! Two incredible companies. Two incredible shows. And for the all-in price of just €20 for both events!
Dance is back with a vengeance at An Grianán and we’re celebrating with a very special offer to enjoy performances from two of Ireland’s best dance companies this autumn.
Floating On A Dead Sea
First up is Catherine Young Dance’s Floating On A Dead Sea on Saturday 19 October. Inspired by the company’s visit to Palestine in 2017, this is an immersive and visceral reflection on life in the West Bank Palestine prior to the 2023/24 war, interweaving dance, film, live music & text.
With a cast of international dancers and musicians and stunning visuals by filmmaker Luca Truffarelli, this moving performance places us in the footsteps of ordinary Palestinians, allowing us to feel their enduring sense of injustice, urgency and need for action.
Prior to the performance, there will be a screening of Floating on a Dead Sea (the documentary), an intensely powerful film offering a glimpse into life under occupation in Palestine in 2019.

The Piece with the Drums
Did you know that CoisCéim Dance Theatre were one of the very first companies to perform at An Grianán when we first opened 25 years ago? That was with a show called Dish of the Day in October 1999. We are thrilled to have them back for our 25th anniversary and will be marking the occasion with a complimentary pre-show drinks reception and some post-show music in the foyer.
Pulsating with theatrical magic, The Piece with the Drums is a joyous, driving dance narrative between dancer and percussion. We think you’ll love it! See it on Thursday 7 November.
