It reflects on the experience of the beauty of the wild Irish coast and its embodiment in movement. The Cove is created around a large scale installation made from heavy, strong, shiny blocks. They reflect the light, like the surface of the sea or the shiny rocks. Sometimes they seem steely and sometimes warm. Through this environment a woman travels. She climbs, sits, contemplates and is enfolded by the spirit of the place. “... told with fable-like simplicity, the dance is a multi-layered meditation on overcoming the constant force of gravity and the fear of falling in order to achieve the joyous freedom of the peak” Michael Seaver.
