A theatrical feast for all the senses…
A brand-new work by multi-award-winning choreographer and Sadler’s Wells Associate artist Michael Keegan-Dolan and his dance and theatre company Teaċ Daṁsa based in Ireland’s West Kerry Gaeltacht.
NOBODADDY is a moving, multi-disciplinary dance and theatre ritual for an international company of nine dancers and seven musicians including the renowned folk singer and musician, Sam Amidon. Featuring live music on stage and Michael Keegan-Dolan’s signature style of contemporary dance, get ready for a theatrical feast like no other.
While Nobodaddy is the name of a destructive divinity who appears in several of William Blake’s notebook poems, Teaċ Daṁsa’s NOBODADDY is an ode to the peacemakers and the bringers of good things.
Then old Nobodaddy aloft
Farted & belchd & coughd
And said I love hanging & drawing
& quartering
Every bit as well as war & slaughtering
– William Blake (1793)
NOBODADDY is funded by Culture Ireland, the Arts Council | An Chomhairle Ealaíon Open Call, and is a co-production of An Droichead for Belfast 2024, Dublin Theatre Festival, Abbey Theatre, and Sadler’s Wells.
