IMDT: Othello (Maybe a dance)

John Scott explores relationships, race, identity and domestic violence in a physical approach to Shakespeare’s Othello, leading the audience on a journey - weaving dance and music. Cast includes Favour Odusola, Magdalena Hylak, Vitor Bassi and Conor Thomas Doherty. FIlm and video by Rolex Award winning Jason Akira Somma. With a special appearance by veteran NYC dancer Valda Setterfield on film.

The work of John Scott/IMDT is supported by Arts Council Dance, Dublin City Council, Dance Ireland, and in part, by a Dance Cork Firkin Crane Production Residency.
