Watch: Floating on a Dead Sea - about life in Palestine - headed for An Grianán

The work is inspired by Catherine Young’s time in Palestine and features a cast of international dancers, stunning visuals by filmmaker Luca Truffarelli and live music directed by Martin Schärer

Catherine Young Dance is delighted to present Floating on a Dead Sea at An Grianán Theatre, Letterkenny, on Saturday, October 19, as part of a national tour.

The work is inspired by Young’s time in Palestine and features a cast of international dancers, stunning visuals by filmmaker Luca Truffarelli and live music directed by Martin Schärer. The tour presents two interconnected works: Young and Truffarelli's documentary, viewed through a choreographer's lens, alongside a powerful live performance, re-worked for the new context in 2024.

Both pieces weave movement, film, live music, and text to illuminate Palestinian daily life. The exceptional musicians performing live include KILA band member and Rossnowlagh native, Seanán Brennan.

'Floating on a Dead Sea' is a chance to look and listen more deeply, especially to those whose voices are often unheard. Booking via the An Grianan website or by calling 074 9120777. Ticket price: €20 / €15 (inclusive of booking fees)
