Performed by a company of 13 world-class performers including actor Mikel Murfi, Swan Lake/Loch na hEala is interwoven with storytelling, song and live music.

Dublin based band Slow Moving Cloud’s score combines Nordic and Irish traditional music with minimalist and experimental influences. With powerful imagery, this Swan Lake is rooted in the Midlands of Ireland where ancient mythology and the modern world collide.

With a limited run of just nine performances at the Abbey, Swan Lake will also be touring to Nomad Theatre Network venues in Letterkenny, Roscommon, Sligo, Newbridge, Mullingar, Drogheda, Cavan and Longford, in advance of a World Tour to Korea and New Zealand, Luxembourg, Germany and UK and the US in 2018.

A Sadler’s Wells co-production with Michael Keegan-Dolan; Colours International Dance Festival, Theaterhaus Stuttgart; Dublin Theatre Festival and Theatre de la Ville, Luxembourg. With support from The Civic Theatre, Tallaght, and South Dublin County Council Arts Office.
