20-21 May 2022

A person poses in the centre of the image. In the background there is blue sky with a few scattered white clouds. The person has short hair, and is wearing an orange zipped top. One arm points towards the sky and they hold the other arm at an angle across their chest.
A compelling and hopeful coming together through music and dance to face a turbulent world

A compelling and hopeful coming together through music and dance to face a turbulent world

A Call To You is a new work by Catherine Young, emerging from the urgency of the incomprehensible times we live through. It is a call to come together; to explore the fragility and friction of community. The strength of the many.

Featuring a cast of outstanding international performers and live music directed by Young’s long-time collaborator Martin Schaerer, A Call To You is a passionate celebration of life, togetherness and dance. It offers an antidote to the imagery of war and the endless rhetoric of politics. As words fail, the body now speaks – untamed and unapologetic.

A Call To You is a companion piece to Catherine Young’s trilogy exploring human rights through the lens of the human body; Floating on a Dead Sea & State of Exception and the forthcoming Universal Declaration.

 

“This is Irish dance making at its best; political, urgent and intelligent. Book it for your festival. Fund it. And if you ever get the chance, go and see it.”  RTÉ

**** “Musically and choreographically “State of Exception” delivers a powerfully visceral experience, and one of the most compelling depictions of the refugee crisis to date.” – The Arts Review on State of Exception
