Coming to the Island Arts Centre on Friday November 21 at 8pm, Neither Either brings together an exciting group of creative artists and stunning dancers who will be performing the length of the island, from Enniskillen to Tralee including the Project Arts Centre in Dublin throughout October and November.

Choreographed by Liz Roche and set to Neil Martin’s score, identities, beliefs, emotions and aspirations are put to the test in this poignant blend of dance, poetry and music.

At the crux of this piece are issues of conflicting identities, habits within oneself, adapting to change and drawing distinctions inspired by Seamus Heaney’s quote “...the strain of being in two places at once, of needing to accommodate two opposing conditions of truthfulness simultaneously...” from his prose work “Place and Displacement” from the collection Finders Keepers.

Tickets, priced £10/8, are on sale now from the Island Arts Centre Box Office on 9250 9254 or online at www.islandartscentre.com.
