A gripping high-energy show, 'Earthfall' weaves dance theatre and circus with cultural dances from Zimbabwe, Brazil and Ireland.
Trapped in a Kafkaesque realm of incomprehensible rules, with boundaries and schedules that change without rhyme or reason, four people explore how to survive an endless limbo.
A young girl is watching. How much of what she witnesses are her own nightmares and how much reality? Together they find pathways that lead them deeper into the restricting maze until their connection to each other brings strength to bend rules and break walls.
Showcasing outstanding Irish and international contemporary and cultural dancers, 'Earthfall' is at once an explosive celebration of cultural diversity and a heart-wrenching reflection on the consequences of borders and inhumane immigration policies.
Responses to Earthfall: ‘Just amazing! Blown away!’ ‘Gives hope to us all!’ ‘Beautiful, heart-tugging!’
