Abbey Theatre - Amharclann na Mainistreach

The Abbey Theatre and Dublin Dance Festival are delighted to present Jean Butler in an engaging new work by Tere O’Connor (USA).

Jean asked Tere to create this solo for her, one which departs from her long history and training in Irish Dance. Entitled DAY, the piece explores the ways we come to know a person beyond the narrative of his/her life. It questions how much we can really know someone and if our projections constitute our knowing more than the actual truth.

DAY was commissioned by the Abbey Theatre, continuing its long history of commissioning and presenting dance work which began with Dame Ninette de Valois’s school in the 1920s.

DAY is presented as part of Dublin Dance Festival which runs from Saturday 8 – Sunday 23 May. www.dublindancefestival.ie
