Irish Times
Colin Dunne returns to Ireland with his solo dance show following a critically acclaimed international tour.
Out of Time is Colin Dunne’s first full-length solo production. In this multi-media show he seamlessly integrates movement, text, film and sound design with the step dance tradition for which he is internationally acclaimed, to offer a contemporary perspective of the art form.
Collaborating with sound engineer Fionán de Barra, Dunne’s percussive footwork is digitally processed live then looped, remixed and layered to create a hauntingly evocative soundscore. He is joined onstage by projected archival images of dancers from the 1930’s onwards – including himself as a ten year old boy. Movement, sound and image come together to create a provocative dialogue between past and present.
Intimate and playful, Out of Time is both an unsentimental homage to Irish step dance, and a bold investigation of Dunne’s personal and artistic relationship with a tradition that has shaped his life.
"Out of Time will delight and provoke in equal measure" Irish Independent
