| Irish dancing - The roots of Ragus
“Ragús the Show – back to the roots of traditional Irish dance, music and
song.”
Inspired and nurtured by the islanders of Inis Mor, Ragus have produced
a show of fast-moving traditional music, song and dance that is the most
exhilarating Irish cultural experience. The word ragus is the Gaelic for
‘urge’ or ‘desire’, which captures the vibrant mood that this company of
brilliant young traditional musicians, singers and dancers create on stage.
Ragus are now firmly established as an unmissable attraction for the
tens of thousands of discerning tourists who visit Aran every summer. The
Olympia Theatre, in its central location, has become a second home to this
arresting musical experience. The intimate surroundings of the theatre are
a fitting location for such an atmospheric show.
Ragus encapsulates the new-found confidence in our heritage, as it is
an authentic home-grown show that brings audiences music, song and dance
that comes straight from the source.
Tickets are on sale from The Olympia Theatre Box Office and Ticketmaster
