Luail and the Irish Chamber Orchestra: Chora

Luail presents its inaugural work, a triple bill of new dance works by choreographers Maria Campos and Guy Nader, Liz Roche, and Mufutau Yusuf. Luail’s ensemble of extraordinary dancers joins the Irish Chamber Orchestra in a vibrant exchange between dance and live contemporary and baroque orchestral works. Chora, an ancient Greek term, refers to space as both a physical place and an abstract idea. This captivating dance show draws on themes of home, memory, and landscape, creating unique atmospheres of imagined possibilities, spaces, and timelines.

With set and costume design by Katie Davenport and lighting design by Sinéad McKenna, Chora sees the dancers and musicians draw on their bodies, instruments, and ultimately, each other. This seamless interplay of movement and sound weaves a powerful expression of connection and the transformative impact of the shared environments we inhabit.
