Inside, the Wolf...
An artistic collaboration between dancer-choreographers Aifric Ní Chaoimh and Daniel Persson and composer-musician Gemma Dunleavy, this piece takes the form of a mythical story set within a distant tribe. The public encounters Elba, who is engaged in a rite of passage, during which she comes to face her wild instincts in the form of Dakash, her spirit animal. During this journey of self-discovery, the mysterious Dakash leads her to better understand her hidden nature, to transcend her limits and emotions and to reveal her inner strength. The music and presence of the musician on stage accompany the audience and frame this strange and moving encounter, mixed with humanity and primitive instincts.
Project supported by Trois C-L, Luxembourg and premiered as part of 'Émergences Volume IV' at Banannefabrik, Luxembourg in May 2017.
