Set inside a building that can no longer protect them, two dancers and a tuba player navigate a shifting, unsteady world. Wind pushes through every seam. Plastic takes on new life. Objects refuse to stay put. The walls themselves seem to breathe as the storm seeps into the architecture and the bodies within it. Covered in debris, the dancers collide, fall and get up again – heroic and triumphant.
Humour leaks through the cracks. Absurdity becomes armour. Resistance takes on strange, comic forms. Hope seeps into the mess through gestures of intimacy and care. The storm refuses to pass.
Through relentless physicality, accumulation and collapse, STORM 1.0 is an uncompromising meditation on endurance by dance innovators Junk Ensemble alongside an international team of artists. It explores what it means to continue together in a world that refuses to be repaired.
Junk Ensemble is a multi-award-winning Dublin-based dance theatre company founded by identical twin sisters Megan Kennedy and Jessica Kennedy.
Presented in association with Dublin Dance Festival and Hawk’s Well Theatre
