Details

Earthfall was formed in 1989 by Jessica Cohen and Jim Ennis with a policy of forging radical choreography with live music and strong visual imagery. The company is based in Cardiff and has rapidly established itself as an outstanding exponent of pioneering dance theatre. Earthfall's issue-based work is concerned with seeking a personal honesty, passion and economy in physical performance to produce quality work of depth. Earthfall has performed throughout the world in many major festivals and has featured on numerous TV and radio broadcasts. Staged entirely in water, and set against the backdrop of the Easter Rising, Ireland in 1916. This piece of dance theatre juxtaposes the developing love affair between two young men with political turmoil in Ireland and the slaughter on the Western Front - contrasting the dream of national liberation and the search for personal freedom. Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the novel by Jamie O Neill. Recommended for 14+ Earthfall - At Swim Two Boys website.
