An intimate evening of beautiful dance and relaxed conversation with Fearghus Ó Conchúir, one of Ireland's leading dance artists. The evening will be like a gig or music concert where the dancing is interspersed with a chance to get to know Fearghus better. This is the first time audiences will see Fearghus perform live in Ireland since 2019. 

Unreeled is a concert of dance and conversation about connections. Hosted by choreographer Fearghus ó Conchúir, the evening will feature solos made by Fearghus during 2020 and 2021 that can finally reach their audiences. Fearghus will be joined by dance artist Isabella Oberlander who will perform a work Fearghus made for her to bring memory and hope into the present moment. You can expect beautiful dance, warm chat and a chance to think about what it means to connect with each other and with what we’re missing.
