A show about change, misogyny and joyous acts of resistance.

Between Earth & Sky uses dance, circus, autobiographical storytelling and original live music to create compelling visual theatre which looks at societal perceptions of younger and older women and female experiences of hypervisibility. A young women takes a journey into the unknown.

 Following her dreams she falls into a world that sits outside the everyday. A place between land and sky and between the real and imagined. Here she meets a Danu figure who helps her connect to her true power and to the wild side of her nature. 

But the path to embracing her full self has many challenges. She must confront her worst fears, navigate societal expectations and overcome a maze of patriarchal controls. A small diverse, integrated cast of aerial, dance and theatre performers with ages ranging from 20 to 50 share experiences at times markedly parallel and at others disparate, as they follow the girls journey to new landscapes and ask how much has really changed for women from one generation to the next? 

Seeking new frames for femininity Between Earth and Sky is funny, surreal, irreverent, and painfully real. A show that ignites the imagination with large scale projections, and its rich tapestry of dance, aerial and storytelling. 

Between Earth & Sky is a new theatre piece by Undercurrent Performance. It is directed by Kate Wilson, and was created in collaboration with the performers, who are Isolde Ó’Brolcháin Carmody, Robin Cara, Lianne Quigley, Darren Byrne and Jenny Tufts. 

The show includes live sound and music composition by Aoife Hammond, dramaturgy by Jena Marie Perinetti, visual design and projections by Milo Cummins, lighting and prop design by Michael Cummins. 

The show includes Irish Sign Language as an integral aspect of the theatre experience.
