A broken dancer’s body won’t move the way it used to.

A boy’s limp threatens to end his dream of playing football for Ireland.

A banjaxed clown has more bulging discs than a weightlifter.

This trio find themselves trapped in a warped trauma dream, where the only way out is head on.

A fusion of text, personal story and dance, this new work is an immersive dive into the effects of physical trauma on the psyche – how it can derail a life but also jolt it onto an unexpected exciting new path.
