Catherine Young Dance is delighted to present Floating on a Dead Sea at An Grianán Theatre, Letterkenny, on Saturday, October 19, as part of a national tour.

The tour presents two interconnected works: Young and Truffarelli's documentary, viewed through a choreographer's lens, alongside a powerful live performance, re-worked for the new context in 2024.
