Following a sell-out Irish tour in Autumn 2022, Michael Keegan-Dolan and Teaċ Daṁsa, come to the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre with the mythic MÁM. For two nights only, this will be the sole opportunity to see MÁM in Ireland before it travels to the Venice Biennale Danza 2023.
Since its première at the Dublin Theatre Festival in 2019, MÁM has toured Sadler’s Wells, London, Perth Festival, Australia, New Zealand Festival of the Arts, Teatros del Canal, Madrid, Internationale Maifestspiele, Wiesbaden, as well as to 14 venues around Ireland.
MÁM has been nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Production in 2020 and two UK Critics’ Circle National Dance Awards in 2021.
MÁM brings together the Irish traditional concertina player Cormac Begley, the European music collective, stargaze and twelve international dancers from Teaċ Daṁsa. MÁM is a meeting place between soloist and ensemble, classical and traditional, the local and universal.
With MÁM, Michael Keegan-Dolan and Teaċ Daṁsa have created another mythic yet timely production that acknowledges how life’s polarities can, on occasion, come together and find a resolution.
This 90-minute production is described by The Irish Times as a ‘stirring, sensuous showcase of the emotional power of the physical form.’
