Production by:Alan Greig Dance (SCOTLAND) / Eoin O’Flaherty and Conor Duffy (IRELAND)
A double-bill of LGBTQ theatre.
Within Reach (40 mins, Scotland)
Written and choreographed by veteran dance artist Alan Greig, Within Reach is a humorous exploration of identity, queer culture, aging, and the cracked glamour of fame.
Seamlessly blending eccentric spoken word monologues and crisp choreographed vignettes, this dance theatre performance sees Greig skilfully slip between characters as he embodies LGBTQ+ icons Quentin Crisp, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis and Tennessee Williams. With humour, intimacy and physical virtuosity Greig invites the audience to join him as he celebrates these stars of queer culture, and to confront the difficult question of where these figures now belong in a world so focused on the young and the new.
Combat Cabaret (20 mins, Ireland)
Eoin and Conor are a delightful bickering duo. They are a team, a symbiotic pairing that blossom in the chaos they cause each other. Think queer meets Laurel & Hardy. But change the bowler hats for thigh highs and dazzling latex. And swords, lots of swords. Stage combat combined with burlesque, our heroes battle gender norms.
