Dublin Theatre Festival Will Open With the World Premiere of Teaċ Daṁsa's NOBODADDY

DTF 2024 will welcome back Teaċ Daṁsa for our opening production, Nobodaddy, a feast of dance, music and theatre created by Michael Keegan-Dolan in collaboration with a team of Irish and International Artists.

 

This production will officially open DTF 2024 on 26th September at O'Reilly Theatre, Belvedere College. Nobodaddy will preview on 25 September and run 26-28 Sept, 30 Sept-5 Oct, 7:30pm.

 

This new work by acclaimed choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan and Teaċ Daṁsa (Swan Lake/Loch na hEala and MÁM) brings together familiar and new collaborators in the West Kerry Gaeltacht.

 

An affecting large-scale dance and theatre ritual for 9 dancers and 6 musicians including renowned American folk singer and musician Sam Amidon.

 

The team are currently working together in a holistic collective creative space devising this new piece. During this rehearsal period the artists live, eat and work together on the Dingle Peninsula with renowned chef Katie Sanderson on site with them.

 

While Nobodaddy is the name of a destructive divinity who appears in several of William Blake's notebook poems, Teaċ Daṁsa's Nobodaddy is an ode to the peacemakers and the bringers of good things.
