Riverdance returns to the INEC this autumn.
RIVERDANCE returns to the INEC Killarney for a limited run this September 12th – 16th.
For over two decades, nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance, the international Irish Dancing phenomenon.
First performed as the interval act of 1994 Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, this electrifying and innovative dance piece was developed into a full-length stage show by Producer Moya Doherty, Composer Bill Whelan and Director John McColgan.
