Life is revenge best served

Betontanc (Concrete Dance) bring its strong and emotional physical theatre to the Dublin stage with Wrestling Dostoievsky. Based on Crime and Punishment and set amidst a backdrop of antique rugs and lamplight, this compelling tale of violence, passion and redemption unravels in a mix of dance, body parts and spoken word.

With stunning, high energy performances from the cast of six young dancers and an original music score by Silence, Wrestling Dostoievsky confronts the audience with a performance of breathtaking reality. This is politically engaged,
high-velocity physical theatre at its best.

THIS PERFORMANCE CONTAINS SOME SEXUAL ELEMENTS AND SOME ELEMENTS OF VIOLENCE
