DUBLIN’S award-winning dance theatre company junk ensemble will visit Theatre Royal Winchester next week as they make their UK touring debut with their highly entertaining physical dance/theatre/music production The Falling Song.
With four internationally known male dancers (Omar Gordon, Carl Harrison, Eddie Kay, Jesse Kovarsky), a live musician and local children’s choir, The Falling Song is an imaginative and highly physical piece of dance theatre performed on an ingenious set featuring ladders and ropes.
A sculptural percussion rig is occupied by musician George Higgs and a children’s choir move in and out of the action.
Hundreds of apples eventually line the stage… This critically acclaimed production was presented at the Dublin Dance Festival and the Belfast Festival at Queens in 2012, but this tour represents junk ensemble’s UK debut.
Based in Dublin under the artistic direction of twin choreographers Jessica Kennedy and Megan Kennedy, junk ensemble creates works of dance theatre which spark the imagination of audiences.
Artists in residence at Tate Britain in 2012, junk ensemble have won arts industry awards in Ireland and have been listed as a Sunday Times highlight. They are in Winchester on Tuesday.
