Immerse yourself as dancers and musicians break out into a party on stage, in this joyful, unmistakably-Irish work from Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre.

From the collaboration of director and choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan and musician Liam Ó Maonlaí, Rian (which means “mark” or “trace” in Irish) evokes the life-enhancing spirit of community. By turns joyful, poignant and reflective, dancers from around the world express the spontaneity of dance and move through free-flowing emotional landscapes on a colourful green stage.

Accompanied by five of Irelands’ best musicians, Rian will delight and evoke faraway places with a rich melodic backdrop of Celtic and West African music, and the sounds of percussion, fiddles and pipes.

Join in the merry-making in an evening marked by a generous spirit and an open-hearted celebration of life.
