WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Choreographed and directed by Riverdance Principal Dancer Breandán de Gallaí, Noctu is a completely new departure for the Irish dance show genre. It pushes the boundaries of the Irish dance aesthetic and explores new expression possibilities. This performance allows the audience to get under the skin of those who perform in the dance world and allows us a glimpse of what matters to them.
