Break Out Pictures are thrilled to announce that THE DANCE, a new documentary film by the imitable director Pat Collins will have a special screening at the Killarney Omniplex on Tues 1st March at 6.30pm followed by a Q&A with producer Philip King and acclaimed concertina player Cormac Begley

THE DANCE follows the staging of a new international dance and theatre work (MÁM) by the acclaimed choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan from the first day of rehearsal to the opening night performance.

MÁM brought the virtuoso concertina player Cormac Begley, the European musical collective ‘s t a r g a z e’ and twelve international dancers to the remote Dingle Peninsula in Ireland where they rehearsed in Halla na Feothanaí in the Gaeltacht area of Corca Dhuibhne in Kerry, which has also been home to Michael Keegan-Dolan and his family for the past four years.

THE DANCE is steeped in the landscape and culture of the Peninsula and is a fiercely true and beautiful account of a magical process of work, brought to life by the inimitable Pat Collins (Song of Granite, Silence).

It is produced by South Wind Blows ( Other Voices) and Harvest Films with backing from Screen Ireland, Teaċ Daṁsa and RTÉ.
