Michael Keegan-Dolan / Teaċ Daṁsa MÁM
On tour
Bringing together the virtuoso, Irish traditional concertina player Cormac Begley, the European classical, contemporary collective, s t a r g a z e, an actor and twelve international dancers from the Teaċ Daṁsa company, MÁM is a meeting place between soloist and ensemble, classical and traditional, the local and universal.
Following the success of his acclaimed re-imagining of the world-famous ballet, Swan Lake/Loch na hEala (2016) Michael Keegan-Dolan and Teaċ Daṁsa have created another mythic yet timely production that acknowledges how life’s polarities can on occasion come together and find resolution. The show was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production in 2020.
The dancers and players of MÁM embody every human emotion during their dazzling 90-minute marathon
