A fine swan and dance: An Irish twist on Swan Lake

Michael Keegan-Dolan has put a very Irish twist on his contemporary take on Swan Lake. It’s been wowing audiences and critics alike, writes Alan O’Riordan.

Michael Keegan-Dolan’s uncompromising approach to dance theatre takes its latest form in Swan Lake/Loch na hEala. It debuted at the 2016 Dublin Theatre Festival and has been widely acclaimed in its travels since, including five-star reviews for its run at Sadlers Wells in London.

Now, it’s returning a little closer to the Irish midlands that inspired it, at Clonmel Junction Festival next week.
