Dance Yes and Yes Yes and Yes takes its title fro
m the final episode of Ulysses which both begins and ends with a “yes”. “…yes I said yes I will Yes”; the famous last words of the book, exclaimed by Molly Bloom. This dance piece by choreographer Liz Roche sees four dancers journey through the episodes of Ulysses, exploring the sensuality, absurdity, release, and resignation of the book in movement with four extraordinary dancers and through film, sound, and design. Over 70 minutes, the work maps the movement of the narrative through the streets of Dublin in 1904 and explores those same spaces and encounters today, with contemporary bodies revealing new and surprising connections. Project Arts Centre, Thursday November 10 to Saturday November 12, €14/€18 Club Circles 2022 Index and Subject have been dreaming up this special one for some time now and will ratchet top the floor pulsations in the company of Richie Hawtin alongside Floorplan, SPFDJ, Cailín, Long Island Sound, Moduse and Giles Armstrong over the bank holiday weekend. Hawtin can be considered an elder statesman of techno at this stage, a pioneer at many levels. One of his most recent projects is a reworking of his seminal Plastikman album Consumed (released in 1998, shudder) with polymath Chilly Gonzales.
