Event2023 When The Moon Spun Round

Do you know what happened when the moon spun round? When darkness tumbled upon us, the cats came out to play and the mischievous lady of the river explored what lies behind the moon.

A wonderfully dark and dreamy performance for young audiences, with a beautiful display of aerial dance performed by Fidget Feet's aerial performers entwined with Ceol Connected and Jym Daly’s melodic and enchanting airs.

Inspired by the poetry and stories of WB Yeats, this coming together of artists and performers from the worlds of aerial dance and traditional arts has resulted in a unique experience that is sure to leave audiences of all ages enthralled.

“It was the cats who noticed it first; the moon had spun round. And with a great and mischievous smile, the moon asked for a new dance for all.”

For audiences aged 6+ yrs

Funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. Commissioned by Baboró International Arts Festival for Children. Supported by Siamsa Tíre, Lime Tree Theatre and Irish Aerial Creation Centre.

Ceol Connected and Fidget Feet are two leading production companies currently operating in Ireland, creating high quality and engaging work that has toured Ireland and internationally. Since 2011 Ceol Connected has produced shows, festivals, events, albums and other art experiences for children that draw inspiration and intrigue from the world of traditional arts. Since 1998 Fidget Feet have created, established and nurtured the aerial dance sector in Ireland and created international connections and collaborations and for 10 years has created and toured work for young audiences.
