Bloody, bold, and thrilling, do not miss this enfant-terrible of the international theatre scene’s Dublin debut.

TANZ takes early nineteenth century Romantic ballet as its starting point. The work unfolds within the framework of a ballet class guided by Claire Philippart, where the performers undergo rigorous training in Action Ballet. Through this process, they learn to use their skills within a spectacular genre and acquire knowledge about flying. Featuring an all-female cast ranging from thirty to seventy years of age and from diverse dance backgrounds, TANZ explores what it means to “dance the lineage” and how one might reconcile with tradition and it’s relationship to beauty.
