Argentinian dance artist Rocío Dominguez will perform her new work MANY MEs at the city’s Black Box Theatre this Friday, September 13. In it, she reflects on her experiences of moving, loss, and rebirth. Echoes of a sister’s death, the lingering wounds of a violent love relationship, and the ache of a distant home intermingle as Rocío finds herself trapped in a relentless quest for the completion of a rite of passage, something that is neccessary before she can move on.
Rocío is joined on stage by a hologrammatic version of herself, a hologram that acts in turns as a memory and a partner.
Rocío has lived Dublin for the past decade, and has collaborated with Irish dance artists including Junk Ensemble, Alexandre Iseli, Luke Murphy, Loosysmokes and Croí Glan Integrated Dance, as well as working internationally.
MANY MEs is one of three productions which she has created in a series called Steps Towards Myself, which includes works in different formats, exploring themes of home, distance, belonging, uprooting and the journey of getting to know herself.
The show is at 7.30pm this Friday in the Black Box. Tickets are €10, subject to THT Booking and Development fee of €1 per ticket.
Booking at www.tht.ie.
