ABOUT
By NAF Dance
The raw theatricality of sports, spectators and matches are calling to be on the stage. 30 jerseys hanging out on the line, soaking muddy stud boots, vexed commentators, bitter cold sideline screaming to the ritualistic trips to Croke Park.
Such complex, human stories seep through to reveal how we relate to something so associated with the core of an Irish identity. Our understanding of what it means to be Irish is ever changing through the global lens. But the GAA captures the idea of tradition and change encapsulated in a beacon of Irish history. Through the marathon of emotions that charges a match, what is it about this amateur sport that incites such passion as a nation?
Culminating in a theatrical showcase of the GAA saturated with comedy, tragedy and poetic play in motion. The wackiness, passion and intensity come together in exemplifying the beautiful madness of this world.
