Lyre Liar is an innovative solo work by Liam Francis that is part dance portrait, part lecture-demonstration, and part autobiography. The piece illuminates both the joy and the burden of a life shaped by learning through imitation. It is presented as a feature-length presentation alongside the Fall For Dance North Festival Signature Programmes.
