WALLS TALK, the new show from Breandán de Gallaí - the principal dancer with Riverdance for more than seven years - comes to the Town Hall Theatre next month.
De Gallaí, who has been at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of traditional and contemporary Irish dance for more than three decades, will bring Walls Talk to the Town Hall Theatre on Tuesday March 15.
Inspired by the phrase “If these walls could talk”, the show will see de Gallaí perform solo dance routines set against songs from the golden era of jazz and blues, performed live on stage by jazz singer Gina Boreham.
“We’re hugely excited to be presenting this work in Galway, particularly at a time when Ireland is emerging from Covid-19 restrictions and the power of live performance has been largely absent from our lives for over two years,” said de Gallaí.
“The show explores the notion of memory, recorded in the material world around us. The narrative is told through the movement of the body and audiences will be wowed by Gina’s renditions of jazz and blues classics. We hope to inspire audiences and challenge preconceptions of what dance can be.”

De Gallaí's carreer has seen him performed for King Hussein of Jordan, the Emperor of Japan, and the late Princess Diana. Walls Talk is produced by Ériu Dance Company. Established in 2010, Ériu is one of Ireland’s leading dance organisations dedicated to promoting Irish dance as a living and ever-evolving tradition.
Tickets are available from the Town Hall Theatre (091 - 569777, www.tht.ie ).
