Ireland's dance theatre vanguards, CoisCéim [kush-came] are back with David Bolger's latest hit, Dancehall Blues as part of Culture Ireland’s Edinburgh Showcase. Nominated for Best Production and Best Design, the show captivated audiences and critics when it premiered to sold-out houses at Dublin Fringe 2024. This 'expertly ingenious' (Irish Times) duet unfolds in a surreal dancehall at dusk, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Two performers dance with fearless abandon, their powerful movements cutting through chaos to ignite hope in a world where dreams and nightmares collide. Bold, gripping, unmissable.
