Rooted in Irish traditions, mysterious and full of passion, MÁM casts its spell. A wild celebration where feet pound the floor, bodies ignite, and ritual turns into jubilation.
From the very first moments, MÁM sweeps us away to another place—an Ireland of rugged hills and tight-knit communities bound by music and dance. The work is deeply grounded in the landscapes of the Dingle Peninsula, home territory of choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan, where the Irish language and its legends remain vibrantly alive.
Inspired by the image of a mountain pass—a threshold to the unknown and the wondrous—the work blends the raw power of traditional Irish dance with the fluidity of contemporary movement. Through the gaze of a young girl, a vibrant ceremony unfolds, bringing together a dozen performers and the seven members of Berlin-based s t a r g a z e ensemble, alongside virtuoso concertina player Cormac Begley. Youth and age, past and future collide. As the music takes hold, the dance intensifies, pulsing with visceral energy.
