The Complex | Arts Centre | Dublin 7
After six weeks on the road, tour de force arrives back in Dublin with objects, images, stories, talismans, touchstones from an evolving, circuitous, meandering, labyrinthine trip around Ireland. Donal Dineen’s iconic Backstory club night brings people from all over together through music and dance creating a transient third space for encounter and movement, rhythmic consciousness, buzzing atmosphere and cathartic flow.
For tour de force X Backstory the Renault 4 is a portal, character, mechanical prop, transient museum and narrative device that guides us through peripheries between reality and fiction, memory and desire, the past and the present as Donal draws from a melting pot of musical styles from across the world.
Join us for a visual and sonic journey on the dance floor, an immersive otherworldly art installation // dance party in a repurposed storage depot at the heart of the historic fruit market district of Dublin.
Donal recently moved back to Kerry from Dublin to make a short documentary film there about set dancing, focusing on his father. It pays homage to the unique traditional music of Sliabh Luachra before mapping the arc of his own singular journey into sound. Donal is a promotor, broadcaster, producer and DJ and in the 90s he fronted the ground-breaking RTE music tv show 'No Disco'. He went on to host a seminal radio show on the then fledgling Today FM and has been a DJ fixture across Ireland for more than 25 years playing all the major festivals including Electric Picnic, Body & Soul, All Together Now, Open Ear, Another Love Story and many more.
