Experience an evening of unforgettable storytelling from CoisCéim Dance Theatre. The award-winning SWIMMING WITH MY MOTHER and MISSING are two extraordinary shows by David Bolger.
Irish Tour, 25 March – 5 April 2014
A joyful celebration of things we pass on and the things we inherit, SWIMMING WITH MY MOTHER is performed by David and his mother Madge. In this intimate dance, their life stories are told with humour to the sultry tones of Nat King Cole.
Can you imagine what it might feel like if a loved one went missing? The dance poem MISSING is a reminder of the fragility and beauty of moments shared. Performed by the outstanding dancers Emma O’Kane and Tom Pritchard, MISSING sold out completely when it premiered at the Dublin Dance Festival last year.

“Swimming With My Mother very gently disarms you, warms you with its affectionate humour and beguiles you with the mood of shared reverie and remembering that laps around the family partnership of David Bolger and his mother Madge.” The Herald, Scotland on SWIMMING WITH MY MOTHER
*****
“Mysterious and atmospheric, David Bolger and CoisCéim’s Missing premiered during Dublin Dance Festival 2013. The work has been carefully researched and rehearsed – and this is seamlessly evident in the sincerity and depth of its delivery. Strong performances, beautiful lighting, meaningful messages… necessarily inconclusive… haunting….” Julia Carruthers, Dublin Dance Festival Director on MISSING
