Sky Dance

New Years Eve 2017 

 

 

“nothing has surpassed the ambition of the performance staged by Fidget Feet outside the Custom House this New Year’s Eve.”

The Irish Times

“I don’t think I’ve ever been as proud to give a platform for genius as I was last night.”

– Gar Holohan

Fidget Feet performed “Sky Dance” at Customs House Dublin as part NYE Dublin 2016/17. Against the backdrop of the iconic Customs House, 12,000 people watched in wonder as aerialists, abseilers, drummers, pyro aerial and vertical dancers integrated with amazing projections in an amazing 4D Fidget Feet performance. All were stunned on New Year’s Eve by this world-class performance of beauty, mystery and spectacular aerial charm.
