Fall and Float
Saturday 8 June, 2pm
Free Event
A Dance Performance for Family Audiences (ages 4+)
With playful energy, impressive acrobatics, comic timing and a joyful soundscape, two dancers create a magical world through the clever manipulation of simple balloons.
Their imagination seems to know no bounds-resulting in a hypnotic, funny and uplifting performance full of falling, throwing, catching, stumbling, floating... and sometimes maybe even a little bit of flying...
★★★★ The Irish Times "A joyous, magical and gently humorous show… The children are audibly delighted and amused, gasping and giggling throughout…a charming, playful and skilful show for young audiences…”
