"...Brazenly and triumphantly new."
- The Guardian

One of the most daring dance theatre companies in the world.

In the small town of Ballyfeeny, where the clouds hangs low and people keep their secrets for good reasons, a lonely Giselle McCreedy cares for her abusive brother. But the town’s inhabitants are quick to exchange gloom for glamour when the line-dancing Bratislavan Albrecht arrives in town, and for the first time Giselle dares to dream of escape.

Nominated for an Olivier Award following its London premiere, this radical reinterpretation of the romantic ballet is a moving two-step between the forces of laughter and disaster, blending speech, song, stunning imagery and superb choreography in an uncompromising production on the very edges of theatre and dance.

Contains strong language, material of a sexual nature and scenes which
some may find disturbing.

Not suitable for children.

Originally co-produced by Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre & Dublin Theatre Festival

Director: Michael Keegan-Dolan
Composer: Philip Feeney
