There is a door. It has a handle and a lock. It can be easy or difficult to open. Depending, of course, on which side of the door you are on, who opens it and why.
In this bold and delightfully riotous dance theatre performance, a group of people push open THE DOOR to reveal stories about home, hospitality and belonging – and what they mean as we age. Commissioned by Age & Opportunity/Bealtaine, THE DOOR has been developed over the last year with communities from across Dublin County and Dun Laoghaire. Featuring live music by members of NCH Blow the Dust Orchestra, THE DOOR will be performed by an irreverent gang of elders with a passion for dancing and a desire to hold on to the keys. Céad míle fáilte! But is it that simple?
