Away with the Faeries

(upcoming)

Premiere: May 27th 2026
Kaserne Basel

I have been researching the Fairy - both the dubious character from Irish folklore and a slur used against queer people - to reimagine my personal history with Irish Dance. With simultaneous irreverence and respect, I aim to rediscover this traditional form through a queer lens and in playful choreographies.
