From: Irish Arts Center“James Joyce’s Ulysses comes to choreographed, three-dimensional life”
- THE IRISH TIMES
Join us for the first full-length work by Liz Roche—one of Europe’s foremost contemporary dance makers, described by the Irish Times as a “cultural trailblazer”—to be presented in New York City.
Yes and Yes is a journey through Ulysses, exploring the chapters of the modernist masterpiece through exquisite movement and multimedia. Mufutau Yusuf, the rising Nigerian-Irish artist (92Y, La MaMa) who made his NYC choreographic debut with 2022's Òwe, returns to IAC as one of four dancers who traverse Joyce's Dublin, alongside Sarah Cerneaux, Grace Cuny, and Toon Theunissen.
This "wonderful, dreamlike experience" stops at Irish Arts Center as part of a U.S. and Ireland spring tour. Three performances only.
MAY 4–6
