Summer Festival Special: Dublin Dance Festival

Dublin Dance Festival

The 2022 edition of Dublin Dance Festival is coming to the capital from May 17–29 – taking over stages and streets with high-energy, boundary-pushing works from Africa, Brazil, Europe and Japan.

Some of the many highlights of this year’s edition include the Irish premiere of Amala Dianor’s new creation Siguifin, and Áine Stapleton’s Somewhere in the Body – a film installation centred around Lucia Joyce, a talented visual artist, dancer, musician and daughter of James Joyce. Encantado, meanwhile, is the latest work by Brazilian choreographer Lia Rorigues, which aims to reconnect us with the power of the natural world.

You can also look forward to more contemporary premieres, street dance, flamenco, and vibrant performances geared towards younger audiences.
