‘An elegant simplicity permeates their work… excellent cast of four male dancers’ The Irish Times

‘Perfectly executed… adrenalin pumping and unsettling… marvelous’ Irish Theatre Magazine

So quickly wings can be replaced by crutches. Male physicality is pushed to the extremities to explore self-destruction, invincibility and failure. Performed by an international all male cast and a live children’s choir, The Falling Song looks at the nature of flying and falling and the dangerous relationship between the two.
