Following its successful sold-out premiere at the Dublin Dance Festival in 2022, A Call to You emerges from the urgency of the incomprehensible times we live through. It is a call to come together; to explore the fragility and friction of community. The strength of the many.

Featuring a cast of outstanding international performers and live music and inspired by Ukranian folk dance traditions, A Call To You is a passionate celebration of life, togetherness and dance. It offers an antidote to the imagery of war and the endless rhetoric of politics. As words fail, the body now speaks – untamed and unapologetic.

Music by: Martin Schäerer (music director / percussion) in collaboration with Seanán Brennan (guitar/mandola), Brian Hogan (bass), Ilse de Ziah (cello) and Jess Kavanagh in collaboration with Jade O'Connor (voice)
