"Listowel Syndrome is an unsettling piece of dance theatre, inspired by the true story of a small town that turns on one of it's own. Written and directed by Emma Martin....the atmospheric desconstructed live score sets the tone for the powerful physical expression of this strange contemporary story of local solidarity and tribal cruelty. Martin's choreography is at once beautiful and brutalist, though the representation of physical violence is neither gratuitous nor sensationalist, and we are more aware of the emotional violence that lies behind this story, which Stepehn Dodd's bleak ashy lighting enhances with visceral effect. There is vigorous conviction in this piece- highly recommended."
