Roisin Whelan Dance presents Man Down
Monday Nov. 6th 8pm
Town Hall Theatre
8pm
Man Down is a gripping dance production featuring an outstanding ensemble cast of four dancers.
Roisin Whelan’s choreography confronts issues of loneliness and isolation through exquisite dance storytelling.
An original score, evocative lighting and foreboding set design, amplify the turmoil of one man’s internal world.
In this highly theatrical narrative dance, reality isn’t always as it seems.
Funded by The Arts Council with additional support from Galway Dance.
