For the first time in South Africa, Joburg Theatre presents the exclusive visit of Dance Of Desire on the Mandela stage from May 3 to May 22, 2011.
Complete with entirely original music and choreography, Dance Of Desire is undoubtedly unique in its imaginative design. This ground breaking Irish production challenges the boundaries of other Irish dance productions and has uniquely elevated the world of Irish dance to a new level. Dance Of Desire is also one of a select few Irish resident and touring dance productions which was actually produced in Ireland and has received critical acclaim - not just abroad, but also at home in Ireland where creative distinction is reserved for only those who excel amongst their peers within the Irish music and dance traditions.
The accumulative skills and talents of the costume, set and lighting designers has insured too that the power and passion of the show's storyline devised by Sean Quinlan, is conveyed to the audience in a realistic and all encapsulating manner. While the choreography described as "outstanding and extremely innovative" speaks for itself in terms of the heights it reaches and the boundaries that it crosses.
Dance Of Desire has birthed and lived in a post-Riverdance world. What is important is that it is not a sonic mirror of the now world famous Bill Whelan musical score, but brings a fresh spirit to bear on the story. In doing so, Dance Of Desire is opening further doors for the continuation of the new professionalism of Irish dance. Dance Of Desire brings an upbeat joy to the lives of so many through his professionalism and musical inventiveness.
Dance Of Desire is the national dance company in Ireland where Riverdance was born. "We supply them with their dancers and many of the Riverdance current dancers came from us," says Michael Carr, executive producer. "We are the parent company who trains the dancers."
