Sharing a mutual admiration for each other’s work, Liz Roche and composer David Coonan have begun a collaboration to create a major new piece for orchestra and dancers in partnership with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

Inventions centres around two extraordinary women: Belfast-based Oona Doherty, one of Europe's most gifted dance artists, and 84-year-old American dance legend Valda Setterfield, winner of a Herald Angel Award for her portrayal of Lear at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017.

On a sparse and open stage five performers, ranging in age from 30 to 76, share a journey of interactions that lays bare their strengths, efforts and possibilities. Light and poignant in equal measure, Ensemble is a joyous physical expression of togetherness among a group of different ages.

This piece for drones and dancers evokes two opposing realities – one of innocent childhood play, the other of deadly modern warfare.

‘We go around at night consumed by fire’, by controversial Italian choreographer Roberto Castello, explores a life engulfed by endless desire. Fusing cinema, dance and theatre, four dancers move together, yet apart.

A furry monster, a headstrong child-woman, a jumping shamanic devil, a crumbling statue... Simultaneously wise man and wild man, Merlin dances at the interface of law and nature: we are moving animals, longing for meaning.
