Dan Canham – 30 Cecil Street

15 – 27 August 9.30pm
Forest Fringe
Book tickets

In 2009 Dan Canham (Kneehigh, DV8, Punchdrunk, Fabulous Beast) made a film in a rotting, dilapidated theatre in Limerick, Ireland. Using that film as source material, this original piece of dance-theatre is an eloquent, heartbreaking elegy for a lost and ruined theatre. A performance of fragments of memories, of wild nights and long-disappeared communities. The piece evokes the life of a once-thriving building what asks what is left when a theatre closes its doors to the public.
