Dance: Junk Ensemble: Dusk Ahead, Watergate Theatre, Kilkenny

Junk Ensemble’s ‘Dusk Ahead’ enjoyed its world premiere at Kilkenny Arts Festival last weekend. Junk Ensemble is an Irish company that has won critical kudos and several major awards for shows such as ‘Bird With Boy’ and ‘Drinking Dust’. They were artists-in-residence at Tate Britain in 2012.

Created and choreographed by Junk Ensemble founders Jessica and Megan Kennedy, ‘Dusk Ahead’ is inspired by what the French call “l’heure entre chien et loup”, the hour between day and night during which one can not easily distinguish dog from wolf, or friend from foe. It also explores the subjects of blindness and invisibility.
