MADE IN DUBLIN: THE OLD TESTAMENT ACCORDING TO THE LOOSE COLLECTIVE

Dance
Space Upstairs
By The Loose Collective as part of Dance Ireland 21: Made in Dublin

 

In their new work, The Loose Collective aims to make a living translation of the Old Testament, a stage-translation of this enormous body of text in its entirety. They integrate text-sampling and baroque choir, beat-boxing and diaspora-postpunk into their musical dance performance, and rearrange bible verses into unexpected combinations.Joshua 7:11 probably best describes it: ‘… for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.’The Old Testament is a coproduction of Tanzquartier Wien, Kunstverein Archipelago Wien and Performance initiative 22 Graz; grant-aided by the cultural department of the city of Vienna, Stadt Graz Kultur, Kultur Land Steiermark and bmu:kk; in cooperation with D.ID/Dance Identity Burgenland and supported by Dance Ireland/Dublin, Dansenshaus/Stockholm, Dansescenen/Copenhagen and Co-Festival and Kino Šiška/Ljubljana through Modul-dance. This presentation is supported by the Embassy of Austria in Ireland.

Before the show, why not…?…have a look around our gallery.
