LOVE SONGS

Company Philip Connaughton, in association with Once Off Productions, Project Arts Centre, and Cork Opera House

Project Arts Centre 2022, Cork Opera House 2023

Company Philip Connaughton returns with a provocative and seductive new dance work exploring the infinite possibilities of love. 

Love Songs brings together a beguiling cast of eight intergenerational performers, collectively looking to an imagined future for answers to an unknown past - and all bent on entertaining.

Premiering December 14-17th at Project Arts Centre, in association with Once Off Productions, Project Arts Centre, and Cork Opera House, Love Songs takes a deep dive into the glorious undefinable while tethered firmly to a love song.

After a year of  dazzling audiences with No Control, Party Scene and WAKE,  Love Songs sees Connaughton return again to his own dance company bringing his unique vision to this, his most ambitious work to date.

“ I shift between those two worlds, I guess. Between the familiar and the unknown, trying to understand love, loss, and my place in this world - all wrapped in sequence!”
