Rian

Michael Keegan-Dolan and musician Liam O Maonlaí come together to create a new production that takes its title from O Maonlaí’s 2005 solo album Rian, which means ‘mark’ or ‘trace’ in Irish. When Michael Keegan-Dolan first heard Rian, he was immediately moved to make dances to it. With O Maonlaí, he aims to create a production in which the musicians and dancers share the stage equally, bringing together Fabulous Beast dancers with musicians led by O Maonlaí. O Maonlaí will combine material from Rian with the music of influential Irish composer Sean O Riada. Liam and Michael aim to honour O Riada’s life and work through their own forms and experience.
