Catherine Young Dance in association with Backstage Theatre

We are in shambles.

Ciseach is a pulsating contemporary incantation weaving together a tapestry of dance, rhythm, live music and voice that seeks to rekindle our broken relationship with the land.

Ciseach looks to the body, to the collective, in search of a new path as the ground beneath us yields. This stirring new work by Catherine Young Dance is an embodied manifesto – urging 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 pieces together possible futures to build the wattled causeway, the ciseach to guide us to solid ground.

Like Floating on a Dead Sea, Ciseach takes on the challenging stories of our time to deliver a thought-provoking experience that echoes long after the curtain draws.

‘The dance is impressive…live music lifts the production to another level.’

This tour is funded by the Arts Council Touring Award with support from Backstage Theatre & Kerry County Council.
