Lord of the Dance was first performed at
the Point Theatre in Dublin from June 28 to July 1,
1996. The show premiered on July 2, 1996. The story follows
the character "Lord of the Dance" and his fight against the
evil dark lord "Don Dorcha" from taking over Planet Ireland.
The Lord of the Dance defeates his invasion with a little
help from a little spirit. There is also a story with a
"love vs lust" theme expressed through dance throughout the
show. "Saoirse, the Irish Colleen" fights for the love of
the "Lord of the Dance" against the wicked "Morrigan, the
Temptress". The stories are based in ancient Irish folklore. |
