Dance performances at Tipperary theatre

Tipperary Dance presents two performances - VIS MOTRIX & ATLAS da BOCA for one night only at The Source

Co-founded by Jazmin Chiodi and Alexandre Iseli, Tipperary Dance is an artist-led organisation, directed by Alexandre Iseli, a dance artist and choreographer driven by a particular vision developed over three decades of artistic practice across Europe and the world. It’s Tipperary Dance International Festival time running from the 3rd to 15th October . Let’s meet, with Dance at heart !

VIS MOTRIX creates some strange as well as fascinating beings. The dancers seem to come from another world, they move through space and merge into an organism, a mixture of human being and machine, creating a hypnotic power that one cannot escape.

What is the driving force, the soul [Vis Motrix] behind the movements of these hybrid beings? With this production, Cocoon Dance continues its research into the “unthought” body: transhumanism as a traumatic round dance that does not leave our unconsciousness untouched.

ATLAS da BOCA explores two trans bodies through the mouth. As a symbol, the mouth becomes the interface between the public and the private, between the erotic and the political, between silence and the lasting word. Questioning the ‘word-gestures’, this piece delves into the moments in which the mouth hardens, letting the words come out roaring.

Advance tickets for all shows are available online at www.thesourceartscentre.ie  - or by phone from the Box office on 0504 90204.

Thursday 12th October | Doors 7.30pm| Tickets €18
