L’après-midi d’un Foehn – Version 1 22 - 25 May 2014

Using a circle of electric fans, watch in wonder as Jean-Louis Ouvrard breathes life into plastic bags, magically transforming them into heavenly dancers borne aloft on currents of air. A pirouetting solo is followed by a tender and comic pas de deux, until a full corps de ballet fills the air, joyously swirling and twirling to the beautiful music of Debussy.

An experience of true wonder guaranteed to charm the young and the young-at-heart.

These performances are presented as part of the 10th Dublin Dance Festival with the support of the French Embassy in Ireland. Dublin Dance Festival takes place from 20-31 May 2014 in venues throughout the city. Full festival details can be found at dublindancefestival.ie
