FERMANAGH’S Dylan Quinn Dance Theatre has produced a creative arts project called “Anything to Declare”, which will take place across a range of sites in the village of Swanlinbar.
This inventive thought-provoking project involves the commissioning of four artists presenting five complimentary/unique pieces of work.
The project will encourage reflection on the border between the north and south of Ireland.
Dylan Quinn, Programme Director explains, “Anything to Declare” brings highly acclaimed artists in their respective disciplines together in a rural location to deliver a memorable performance.
“As a result of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 there is a mechanism set in place that could and may result in the facilitation of a border poll during which the people of Northern Ireland and the people of the Republic of Ireland will in two independent voting processes make decisions about whether or not the border should continue to exist.
Dylan continues, “We are delighted to be bringing Anything to Declare to Swanlinbar, it is a special opportunity to bring the performing arts to a rural village. Throughout the performance we hope the audience explores a conversation about the border poll.
“This project could be presented anywhere along the border in any border town north or south, Swanlinbar is an excellent example of how the border has impacted on this community.”
Over three nights a unique multidisciplinary performance will take places throughout the village of Swanlinbar.
Audiences will be guided as they move and weave their way through the village on the evenings of the 25, 26 and 27 July experiencing a series of creative performances and installations.
Details of tickets, the presentations, the works and how to experience them all will be made available via the Dylan Quinn Dance Theatre website. www.dylanquinndance.org
