Michael Keegan-Dolan is one of Ireland’s most inventive and acclaimed choreographers, whose work has been showcased in prestigious venues from Paris to London.

However, his latest show 1975: Naoi Déag Seachtó Cúig will have its world premiere far from the bright city lights, in the depths of West Kerry, where Keegan-Dolan has made his home. The piece features five dancers and is soundtracked by the album 1975 from influential traditional music performers The Bothy Band.
