CPH STAGE åbner årets teaterfestival med den tryllebindende og musikalske danseforestilling ”MÁM” af irske Teaċ Daṁsa.
Ved foden af Irlands bjerg, Cnoc Bhréanainn, i Dinglehalvøens vestlige ende, står et forsamlingshus. Herfra tager “MÁM” os med på en rejse af den anden verden dybt forankret i Irlands usædvanlige landskaber og dragende kultur.
I en hvirvelvind af mystik og magi indtager tolv internationale dansere scenen sammen med syv musikere fra det Berlin-baserede s t a r g a z e-kollektiv samt den virtuose concertinaspiller Cormac Begley.
Med intensitet og humor væves dansernes bevægelser ind i både klassisk musik og lokale folkemusiktraditioner for at udforske mødet mellem nationale fortællinger og etablerede systemer.
Ordet mám har flere betydninger – lige fra en “forpligtelse” til “en håndfuld godter”. “Bjergpas” indkapsler dog smukt forestillingen, og ordet stammer fra det lokale sprog Corca Dhuinhne i West Kerry, Irland, hvor koreograf Michael Keegan-Dolan skabte den. "MÁM" er således en passage, der forbinder natur og kultur.
Dansekompagniet Teaċ Daṁsa blev grundlagt i 2016 med et mål om at skabe dybere forbindelser til Irlands traditioner, sprog og musik. Navnet Teaċ Daṁsa (Dansens Hus) indkapsler Michaels rejse med at skabe danse- og teaterværker, der klart afspejler det sted, de stammer fra.
‍Forestillingen er kurateret af CPH STAGE og præsenteres i samarbejde med Det Kongelige Teater.

ENG: CPH STAGE opens this year’s theatre festival with the spellbinding and musical dance production "MÁM" by the Irish company Teaċ Daṁsa.
At the foot of Ireland’s mountain Cnoc Bhréanainn, at the western tip of the Dingle Peninsula, stands a community hall. From here, "MÁM" takes us on an otherworldly journey deeply rooted in Ireland’s remarkable landscapes and captivating culture.
In a whirlwind of mystique and magic, twelve international dancers take the stage alongside seven musicians from the Berlin-based collective s t a r g a z e and the virtuoso concertina player Cormac Begley. With intensity and humour, the dancers’ movements are woven into both classical music and local folk traditions to explore the encounter between national narratives and established systems.
The word mám carries several meanings – from “an obligation” to “a handful of sweets”. “Mountain pass”, however, most beautifully encapsulates the performance, and the word comes from the local language Corca Dhuibhne in West Kerry, Ireland, where choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan created it. "MÁM" is thus a passage connecting nature and culture.
The dance company Teaċ Daṁsa was founded in 2016 with the aim of creating deeper connections to Ireland’s traditions, language and music. The name Teaċ Daṁsa (House of Dance) reflects Michael’s journey of creating dance and theatre works that clearly embody the place they come from.
‍The performance is curated by CPH STAGE and presented in collaboration with the Royal Danish Theatre.
