This is
no ordinary Irish dance show but rather a musical and play
all rolled into one. The show pulsates with sexual energy
and moves on at a cracking pace.
The Story
of Two Brothers One Love, Passion, Jealousy, Tragedy, and
Triumph, depicted in a musical and visual spectacular through
the medium of contemporary Irish Dance... this is Gaelforce
Dance
Gaelforce
Dance is the story of two lovers, Lorcan and Aisling who,
as our tale begins, are blissfully unaware of the passion
that will erupt between them, leading the lovers inio a maelstrom
of forbidden love and their community into a cauldron of hate.
Gaelforce
Dance opens with a celebration of marriage, the wedding of
Lorcan's older brother, Cuan and his lifelong sweetheart,
Aisling. Cuan had always felt content with life on his farmland
and was well respected by all who knew him. His marriage to
his childhood sweetheart made his life complete.
Aisling
always knew she would end up marrying Cuan, in fact everyone
expected that she would. Aisling appeared happy with life
in her rural community, but deep in her soul she harboured
dreams of unspoken desires. She had often imagined herself
with Lorcan. She loved his wildness and free spirit, but he
had never shown any interest in her. Lorcan couldn't have
been more different from his brother Cuan. Life on the land
held no attraction for him. He was a dreamer and his ambitions
lay far away from the broken hearts of all the village girls
he had known. Rhiannon - the dark and mysterious beauty who
had returned with Lorcan from his last trip abroad. She loved
Lorcan with a jealous obsession and was determined to tame
him into marriage.
As our
story begins, a chance meeting sparks the ill fated affair
where broken loyalties and jealousy tear two brothers apart.
Only after the ultimate tragedy are the brothers once more
united.
