Bold Moves 2022

★★★★  “…This is a rewarding triptych, each with its own highly distinctive flavour… An international company of first-rate dancers dazzle with both personality and skill.”

The Independent

Ballet Ireland returned to the stage in April 2022 with a triple-bill of exhilarating and dynamic choreography by internationally renowned choreographers Christopher Bruce, Marguerite Donlon, and Filipe Portugal.

 

 

Rooster

 

The rock ’n’ roll swagger of the Rolling Stones comes thrillingly to life in Rooster, Christopher Bruce’s electrifying celebration of the swinging sixties. Sharp-suited, snake-hipped men and strong, sassy women perform to some of the Stones’ most famous tunes, including Not Fade Away, Paint It Black, Sympathy for the Devil and Little Red Rooster.
