Céilí: Seán Curran Company and Darrah Carr Dance

Seán Curran and Darrah Carr evoke the spirit, life, and celebration of the Irish céilí in the world premiere of a new work that merges contemporary choreography and modern Irish form into a vibrant transformation of social dance.

Along with a multigenerational cast of performers from both companies, and musicians Dana Lyn & Kyle Sanna—whose score connects the dots between their experience as composers in NYC and their deep admiration for traditional Irish music—the award-winning choreographers explore the idea of coming together for a céilí that simultaneously embraces tradition and innovation.
