When Once is Never Enough
When Once is Never Enough is a confident assured piece that got a warm reception from the audience. There was wit in the choreography, real technical skill in the execution…
What is compulsive behaviour? How do we stop it from happening if it’s compulsive? Can we give in or take flight against compulsions? These conundrums springboard David Bolger into the world of WHEN ONCE IS NEVER ENOUGH. The stage becomes a minefield where Chaos and Order play together while up above obsessive characters scale the walls to escape uncertainty. Their actions expose the way chance and timing determine many destinies.
The dancing is terrific, there’s fantastic symmetry between the music and the dancing and it just brings us into a world that is both funny and sad and is really really interesting
