Set in a boarded up room a group of strangers look in from outside. A set of keys unlocks the door to hidden gems left behind. What was that promise that you made?

Touch Me is a social allegory on a country in crisis. Capturing the spirit of the moment, David Bolger rakes through the spoils of an unprecedented era to discover a new beauty in the promise of the future. What are the new symbols of fortune? What makes us happy now?

"Bolger skilfully manages all of the material into a coherent whole ... all performed with aplomb by the entire cast" Michael Seaver, Irish Times

"... uplifting ... [there is] sheer joy and even transcendence in the inventive dance of Bolger's six wonderful dancers" Deirdre Mulrooney, vulgo.ie

"The set was wonderful, the music was ecstatic. Kenneth Edge was absolutely on fire playing live ... pure absolute brilliance ... absolutely stunning" Peter Sheridan, THE VIEW RTE1

Featuring live music by award-winning composer/saxophonist Kenneth Edge and six star performers, Jen Fleenor, Olwen Grindley, James Hosty, Robert Jackson, Nick McGough and Emma O'Kane voted best dancer of the year in 2010 by Dance Europe
