From Floating on a Dead Sea to State of Exception Catherine Young Dance takes on the challenging stories of our time

Backstage Theatre have announced details of an exciting show from Catherine Young Dance.


Ciseach – An Embodied Manifesto is a tapestry of dance, rhythm, live music and voice that seeks to rekindle our broken relationship with the land.


Ciseach looks to the body, to the collective, in search of a new path as the ground beneath us yields. This stirring work by CYD urges the audience to re-member, to re-connect with past, with nature and with each other.

Collecting fragments of native wisdoms, myths and kinships, Ciseach pieces together possible futures to build the wattled causeway, the ciseach to guide us to solid ground.


From Floating on a Dead Sea to State of Exception Catherine Young Dance takes on the challenging stories of our time, delivering thought-provoking works that echo on long after the curtain draws. Ciseach is certain to follow suit.


Tickets for Ciseach – An Embodied Manifesto at Backstage Theatre Longford on this Saturday, June 15.
