Hocus Pocus 18 - 20 May 2018
This magical children’s show for ages 7+ explores how images conjure vivid emotions, sensations and experiences. Presented in partnership with Dublin Dance Festival
Taking the audience on a fantastical voyage, two brothers dive into dreamlike adventures: a contortionist’s escape from a spider’s web; a journey in a damaged flying machine; and underwater encounters with fabulous aquatic creatures.
The unique set design creates a playful game of appearance and disappearance. As light is painted across the stage to reveal everything it touches, the dancers’ bodies seem to emerge from a black hole before being swallowed up again. These visual mysteries cast a spell, suspending our disbelief and unleashing our imagination.
Take a look at these extracts from the show:
