Union Black

An explosive mix of dance-theatre and circus from critically acclaimed British hip hop collective Far From The Norm.

Join the crowd, roaring and chanting, waiting in anticipation for the match of the year. The players: a selection of Europe’s best hip hop dancers and circus artists.

With a breathtaking combination of fast-paced footwork and physical floor routines, Union Black takes on one of the globe’s favourite sports – football – to tackle questions of race, nationality and identity.

This athletic, energising show, created especially for Cork, uses a fusion of b-boying, popping, lindy hop and contemporary dance alongside the strength and skill in acro-dance, Chinese pole, juggling and tightrope walking of local and international circus artists.

Expect them to tear up the stage – and the rule book.
