Dance Theatre of Ireland Slow Down

“Often there’s no more serious business than contemporary dance, but Piasni’s keen eye and skilled hand have created a dance that is light and witty in its delivery, but razor-sharp in its significance“
Michael Seaver,The Irish TImes
“irresistible” David Bernadas, Mouvement “tremendously funny” Muriel Steinmetz, L’Humanité
“what comes across is tenderness, detail [and] a great deal of humour” Marie-Christine Vernay, Libération
In this playground for six dancers, Slow Down explores the insignificant troubles, the practical jokes, the awkwardness, and the barricades that make human relationships come alive. Other worlds come to mind: Charlie Chaplin’s or Jaques Tati’s; Six characters reveal secrets and obstacles …their hesitation, lost orientation, inarticulate declarations, and movement sequences, find irony in the everyday demands
of discipline, creativity, concentration and ardour. .
Don’t miss it! Deliciously fun.
