THIS IS DANCE: MÁM by Teaċ Damsa / Micheal Keegan-Dolan presented by Dance Consortium

Location: Birmingham

Venue: Birmingham Hippodrome

MÁM is international dance-theatre at its finest. Described as ‘90 minutes of ritualised ecstasy’ by The Irish Times.

This visionary piece playfully and provocatively takes you on an otherworldly journey steeped in the landscape and culture of West Kerry in Ireland.

MÁM sees 12 fearless dancers summon a whirlwind of myth and magic, moved by the collaborative music making of virtuoso Irish traditional concertina player Cormac Begley and European classical contemporary collective s t a r g a z e, performed live on stage.

Nominated for an Olivier Award, MÁM has enjoyed sell-out performances at Sadler’s Wells, London and across Festivals world-wide. This rapturous production now embarks on its debut UK tour for Dance Consortium.

‘MÁM overflows with depth and soul … a heavenly, glorious, wildly whirling dervish’
