Touch Me at Civic Theatre

Main Auditorium

Cois Ceim presents

Touch Me

Directed and Choreographed by David Bolger

Live Music – Composer/Saxophonist Kenneth Edge

Set among the remains of a boarded-up room, a group of strangers look in from outside. A set of keys unlocks the door to hidden gems left behind. What was that promise that you made? In 1997, CoisCéim produced the critically acclaimed Reel Luck which looked at Ireland on the cusp of the Celtic Tiger. Through a series of vignettes, Touch Me comments on society today and the transformation from tiger visions to the exodus of the once majestic cranes. From this lonely landscape David Bolger rakes through the spoils of an unprecedented era to discover a new beauty, in the promise of the future, in a richer humanity. What are the new symbols of fortune? What makes us happy now?
