About
Opening the 15th edition of the Dublin Dance Festival with a bang, the genre-defying, international smash hit sensation RIOT makes a triumphant return to Dublin to get the party started!
The award-winning, explosive, cabaret performance has set hearts alight all over the globe and is coming home for 6 shows only at Vicar Street.
RIOT is a disorderly cocktail of bangin’ jigs, mind-blowing moves, jaw-droppingly sexy circus and gut-punching spoken word that leaves audiences dazzled, dizzy and ready to change the world.
A love letter of hope to the future, a clarion call on the state of the nation and a divine celebration and blunt criticism of the world today, RIOT unites the hottest stars of Irish stage and screen in this glittering roulette of the brilliant, brazen and downright bizarre.
Meet us at the barricades once more for a night of acrobatics, thumping tunes, slapstick comedy and jaw-droppingly sexy circus. It’s your big night out, with a delicious twist.
