Columbia University School of the Arts will present Miguel Bregante's (Columbia MFA Directing Candidate 2024) production of Dancing at Lughnasa.

One day, a revolution began, but nobody called it a revolution. They were just some steps, incoherent, hesitant, and aimless. An animalistic ballet against something that didn't seem right. An amorphous instinct. This play recalls those who, more out of courage and survival than belief, took the first moves to claim a fair space to be themselves.

Dancing at Lughnasa is the story of five sisters surviving in a world that doesn't dance. It is a choreography of struggle, minor victories, and sorrows, composed through the blurred memories of a 7-year-old child in the summer that changed his life.

FEATURING: Carl Bindman, Bethsabé Caballero, Helen Romeu Coombes, Stella Diji, Jane Purnell, and Nanouli Shevardnadze
