Dozens of acrobats and performers will dazzle audiences in The Pulse, the largest ever indoor show from Galway International Arts Festival.
Brought to life by Gravity & Other Myths, who astounded audiences in 2019 with daring acrobatic feats in Out of Chaos, this breathtaking show will take place in the spectacular new Festival Theatre at the Kingfisher at the University of Galway.
This purpose built venue is the largest indoor setting ever put together in the history of the arts festival.
The Pulse is a hugely ambitious and monumental work of scale that has wowed critics with five-star reviews at the Adelaide and Edinburgh festivals.
Directed by Darcy Grant and composed by Ekrem Eli Phoenix, it features a company of 60 performers including the 30 strong, all-female Orfeó Catalá Choir.
The mass of acrobats and choir members unite and divide, becoming a spectacular being of muscle, bone and voice as a mountain of bodies move through an ocean of sound. It’s raw, it’s real, it sings, it sweats, it pulsates.
The Pulse will run from July 17 – 22. Each performance starts at 8pm, and lasts for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, with no interval.
Tickets cost €25 – €37.50, and are available online or at the festival box office. On July 19 there will be post–show talk with the company backstage.
