The Piece with the Drums by David Bolger

CoisCéim Dance Theatre presents
The Piece with the Drums by David Bolger
Directed and choreographed by David Bolger

WED 23 OCT, 8PM
Post-show talk
Live at The Everyman

Pulsating with theatrical magic, CoisCéim Dance Theatre’s The Piece with the Drums is a joyous, driving dance narrative between dancer and percussion.

We vibe, we vibrate, hearts pumping, rhythm jumping,
Drumming up the earth’s vibrations,
Infusing our heartbeat, our breath…

Directed and choreographed by David Bolger, with music, beats and everything in between by pioneering jazz percussionist Conor Guilfoyle, it’s a colourful exploration of relationships, spirituality and our connection to rhythm, life and the cosmos.

This production is presented at The Everyman in association with Dance Cork Firkin Crane.
