ÉIREANN BY A TASTE OF IRELAND
From the creators of international touring hit A Taste of
Ireland, comes a bold new reimagining – Éireann by A Taste
of Ireland – making its UK premiere this summer with a
limited run at the Peacock Theatre from 28–31 August.
Blending traditional Irish dance with
cutting-edge stagecraft and an original
musical arrangement, Éireann invites
audiences to embark on a powerful
journey through Irish history – from
ancient mythology and Viking conquests
to the Famine and the Easter Rising.
A cast of 16 world-class dancers and
four gifted musicians, including alumni
of Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, as
well as multiple Irish dancing world
champions, bring this breathtaking
production to life, fusing precise
choreography, athleticism and engaging
storytelling. All movement and vocals are
performed entirely live, accompanied by
stunning cinematic visuals that immerse
the audience in the emotional landscape
of Ireland’s past.
The dancers hail from Ireland, UK,
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the
United States – bringing international
energy and technical excellence to every
performance. The show is created and
directed by Brent Pace with co-direction
from Ceili Moore. The result is a theatrical
spectacle that honours the lyrical,
rebellious spirit of Ireland and redefines
what Irish dance can be in the 21st
century.
