A new work by choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan and Teaċ Daṁsa, bringing together familiar and new collaborators in Ireland’s West Kerry Gaeltacht
“Then old Nobodaddy aloft
Farted & belchd & coughd
And said I love hanging & drawing
& quartering
Every bit as well as war & slaughtering”
– William Blake (1793)
Nobodaddy is an affecting large-scale dance and theatre ritual for a company of nine dancers and six musicians including the renowned folk singer and musician, Sam Amidon.
While ‘Nobodaddy’ is the name of a destructive divinity who appears in several of William Blake’s notebook poems, Teaċ Daṁsa’s Nobodaddy is an ode to the peacemakers and the bringers of good things.
