In his solo “Iris”, Linehan considers how movement and words can be a form of magic, a way to cast new spells. His dance and his poetry aim to give voice to the invisible connections that join us together with our fellow living beings near and far – the plants and the birds, the insects and mushrooms, the sky and the living Earth. In ancient Greek mythology, Iris was the goddess of the rainbow and a messenger of hope. Linehan sees hope in the process of learning to see our inherent relatedness with the colorful spectrum of planetary life that we are a part of.

Iris was presented on Friday 27 October 2024 in the garden of P.A.R.T.S. (Brussels, BE) in the frame of the arts & Science Festival CurieuCity
