Five Ways To Drown

The living room strewn on the front garden for all to see…Five Ways to Drown looks into the interior of family life and exposes the sadness, the absurdity and the banality through vignettes of dance - theatre and installation. In this public display of the private, the choreography of everyday life becomes extraordinary.

“Five Ways to Drown is absorbing and affecting – and a fitting opener to this year’s 2010 Dublin Dance Festival.” The Irish Times

“It's rare to wish that something wasn't over when the lights come up, and this was that very rare thing indeed”The Evening Herald
