From the creators of the international hit A Taste of Ireland comes a new show — by A Taste of Ireland — a joyous blending of traditional Irish dance with cutting-edge stagecraft and a powerful original musical arrangement.
Running just for few days from 28 to 31 August 2025, Éireann invites the audience to embark on a powerful journey through Irish history — from ancient mythology and Viking conquests to the Famine, the Easter Rising and beyond.
A cast of 16 exceptional dancers and four musicians, featuring alumni from Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, are set to deliver a captivating performance that blends choreography, athleticism, and storytelling, supported by live movement and vocals alongside cinematic visuals that reflect Ireland’s emotional history.
“Éireann is more than just a dance show — it’s a real love letter to Ireland. We’ve poured our hearts into reimagining the power of Irish storytelling through movement, music, and visuals. I can’t wait for London audiences to now experience this next chapter.” Director and creator Brent Pace
