About this event
Witness remembrance in motion. Join us under open skies. Step into a powerful outdoor dance experience that blends memory, movement, and place. A cross-cultural collaboration rooted in Sasha Kurmaz’s response to the story of sisters in Ukraine who danced on soldiers’ graves, which sparked debate about appropriate ways to grieve. Adapted for Dublin by choreographer Simone O’Toole, 20 non-professional dancers transform real stories into raw, collective movement.
