Stephanie Dufresne/Galway Dance Project

Premiered at the Galway International Arts Festival in 2021, After Love is a powerful exploration of love and loss.

Based on a debut poetry collection by Dani Gill, After Love blends dance, physical theatre, music and poetry to explore the end of a relationship.
Dance and poetry fuse in a visually stunning show with an original musical score from Anna Mullarkey and Adrian Harte, After Love is an original, haunting and evocative dance work, rooted in the west of Ireland.

Performed and choreographed by Stephanie Dufresne and Lewis Wilkins, directed by Laura Sheeran, written by Dani Gill.
