Audiences around the country will get the chance to see one of the best and most original shows of 2005, Knots – presented by CoisCéim Dance Theare. This, the company's latest award-winning production, sees ex-DV8 virtuoso choreographer Liam Steel direct a show that tries to untangle the complexity of human relationships.
Using brutal and high-octane choreography and the insightful text of psychoanalyst R.D. Laing, Knots sees Muirne Bloomer, David Bolger, Robert Jackson, Eddie Kay, Emma O'Kane and Diane O'Keeffe take audiences through a series of passionate physical and verbal confrontations as they try to unravel the twists, turns and convolutions inherent when we entangle our life and body with someone else's...and the sad little patterns our minds and hearts are compelled to forever repeat.
