Friday 7th & Saturday 8th September

A major new contemporary dance work by Liz Roche in collaboration with composer Linda Buckley for the Cork Opera House stage.

Emerging out of artistic dialogues between Brian O’Doherty and Liz Roche, I/Thou will draw upon the complex notations and symbolism in One Here Now; The Ogham Cycle, re-working them into dynamic choreographic patterns and stories that explore notions of physical identity, language, history and landscape.

In the stunning light-filled centre gallery of Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh, County Cork, behind two layers of liner paper and twenty years of white emulsion, lies a very well-kept secret. One, Here, Now is a nine-part series of spectacular floor-to-ceiling wall paintings by the eminent New York-based Irish artist Brian O’Doherty, which were made over twenty years ago and subsequently covered up and almost forgotten about, until now.

Liz Roche Company will join creative forces with Sirius Arts Centre and Cork Opera House in a major new partnership, to co-commission and co-present ambitious new dance pieces inspired by these works with the aid of funding from the Open Call Programme 2018

Tickets €15 & €12 (conc)
