"The whole is other than the sum of the parts”
KURT KOFFKA
Liz Roche Company leaves behind the comfort of the traditional theatre space for the newly refurbished National Gallery of Ireland as part of a major programme of work to mark its opening.
Here, in the wonderfully renovated Milltown and Dargan Wings, an extraordinary company of dancers and musicians will both confront and collaborate with this landmark artistic space in a joint act of creative renewal.
Drawing on its surroundings and the ways in which we interpret in a gallery setting, Totems moves through the Shaw Room and Upper Gallery of the National Gallery in a series of intricate physical patterns resonating with the live score and imagining relationship to the surrounding memories, symbols and histories.
