New Year with dance and music: Danceperados inspire in Kaiserslautern!

On Monday evening, the alternative New Year's reception took place in the Kammgarn cultural center in Kaiserslautern. The event, which was traditionally “somewhat different”, offered an informal atmosphere and a varied cultural program. The focus was on the appearance of the well-known group Danceperados of Ireland , which caused a stir with their new show "Hooked".

The danceperados of Ireland are an ensemble that is passionate about Irish tap dance. In the show "Hooked", which celebrated its premiere in Luxembourg the day before, fascinating topics related to fishing, dancing, music and singing are linked. The performance included both traditional steps shows and a six-member Irish folk band that enriched the performance with live music instead of the usual playback.

diverse topics and impressive presentation

The presentation was not only a feast for the eyes and ears, but also had a deeper message. Historical pictures and film recordings project the rough life on the Irish coast and address important aspects such as fishing, overfishing the seas and a critical view of the EU membership of Ireland. For example, access to the EU gave the country 60 percent of its fishing rate in 1973, which led to a significant loss of subsidies.

The dance pepperados want to draw attention to often unknown topics with their show. Every year, a large amount of fish from Irish waters are caught by other nations, which is increasingly threatening the little coastal fishermen. With "Hooked" not only a tribute is stored to the maritime communities and their traditions, but also illuminates the life of the self -catering and the dangers of the sea.

cultural meaning and entertainment

A central aspect of the event was also three times the added value for the audience. The mixture of traditional Irish tap dance, live music and profound topic conveyed a balanced experience. The audience should not only be entertained, but also about yesterday and today.

The danceperados of Ireland attach great importance to the return on the roots of Irish tap dance. The numerous positive feedback on your appearances confirm that this type of entertainment is of great interest. Overall, the productions of Reset Production, in which numerous Irish quilted dancers are involved, attracted over 750,000 visitors in the past twenty years.

In view of the multitude of topics treated on the show, the New Year's reception in Kaiserslautern can be celebrated as a successful evening full of culture and awareness of important social issues. In the combination of art and the challenges with which the Irish coastal regions are confronted, the event proves to be enriching for everyone involved.
