Synopsis
Based on Irish folklore, this classic tale of Good vs. Evil, expressed through the universal language of dance, has thrilled audiences worldwide and catapulted Irish dance to a new dimension and unprecedented worldwide acclaim. As the story unfolds, the Little Spirit travels through time to help the Lord of the Dance protect his people from the challenge of Don Dorcha, the Dark Lord. As this evil dark power challenges the hero, the incredible adventure continues, drawing its audience into a mythical universe of love, danger, and desire.
Our Review:
14 February 2012
For the very first time: no programme; is this show really that well known? And are many people aware this is the title of a hymn, though fans of course inevitably respond with religious fervour.
Fittingly, some settings resemble temples, and there’s a lot of good old fashioned shock and awe: bright lights and loud bangs. The video backdrop also seems largely sponsored by the Irish Tourist Board.
Anyway, at a guess, (the website has several options for the main characters): our hero David McCabe was fantastic while Dark Lord, Brendan McCarron, complete with Prussian helmet and hedgehog spikes, gave him a run for his money, not to mention a hop, skip and a jump. Saoirse (blonde) could have been Laura Jones, but Morrighan (brunette) was probably Aisling Murphy, courtesy of the complementary backdrop.
The footwork is spectacular; you cannot dismiss it as glorified tap danci...
