RÍONACH NÍ NÉILL (IR/DE)

A THING OF BEAUTY & JOY FOREVER
2005

Why do we do what we should and not what we could? Accompanied live by button accordian, tabla and double bass, the Irish choreographer Ríonach Ní Néill hunts for clues, roaming through two centuries: Nursery rhymes and Victorian novels, parlour songs and famous scenes from literature flicker through the souls of girls on the verge of womanhood – danced by an all-male cast.
