Tonight I had another cultural experience, courtesy of the Arts in Action Program at NUI. This is the same group I saw Cripple of Inishmaan with in September.
On this bill this time was "Parallel Horizons" and "Under the Roof." It is a dance show that combines Irish dance with Korean dance. It was presented by Dance Theatre of Ireland and NOW Dance Company Korea. It was...interesting to say the least.
It really was quite interesting. The dancing and music were beautiful and exotic. The dancers also acted a little and while there was very little dialogue, the second half, "Under the Roof" was very vocal. People on stage were shouting in many different languages and accents. There was a long part in Spanish and a part in French...notably, nothing in Korean or Gaelic and very little English. It was very abstract, the dancers had props and at the end they all came together to build an igloo-type house (hence, "Under the Roof"). An enjoyable evening!
