MERLIN - Iseli-Chiodi Dance Company

Description

Presented as part of Limerick Fringe festival, 3-6 April 2019. 

Jostling with rational narrative and swimming in the substance of myth, MERLIN dives into body textures to invokes fairy tales, pagan carnivals, dark waters, Orphic themes, monsters, wild animals, a battered queen, a shamanic devil, and a strong-headed child-woman, countless images that resonate in our hearts, the fading of time, and of course, Merlin himself, and his mischievous grin.

Our environment seems increasingly dominated by symbols, images and archetypes. MERLIN wonders how to reconcile our longing for shapes and narrative with the amorphous turmoil of organic life. MERLIN stands with one foot on each side of the paradoxical rift between substance and shape, nature and law, instinct and culture.
