Tipperary Dance presents two performances - VIS MOTRIX & ATLAS da BOCA - for one night only at The Source

Co-founded by Jazmin Chiodi and Alexandre Iseli, Tipperary Dance is an artist-led organisation, directed by Alexandre Iseli, a dance artist and choreographer driven by a particular vision developed over three decades of artistic practice across Europe and the world.

It’s Tipperary Dance International Festival time running from the 3rd to 15th October - Let’s meet, with Dance at heart !

VIS MOTRIX creates some strange as well as fascinating beings. The dancers seem to come from another world, they move through space and merge into an organism, a mixture of human being and machine, creating a hypnotic power that one cannot escape.

What is the driving force, the soul (Vis Motrix) behind the movements of these hybrid beings? With this production, Cocoon Dance continues its research into the “unthought” body: transhumanism as a traumatic round dance that does not leave our unconsciousness untouched.

ATLAS da BOCA explores two trans bodies through the mouth. As a symbol, the mouth becomes the interface between the public and the private, between the erotic and the political, between silence and the lasting word.

Questioning the ‘word-gestures’, this piece delves into the moments in which the mouth hardens, letting the words come out roaring.

Advance tickets for all shows are available online at https://www.thesourceartscentre.ie/ - or by phone from the Box office on 0504 90204.
