Dance Theatre of Ireland's new work, Evidence, is a substantial program of high quality, incorporating three varied dance pieces. The title work is conceived and directed by Robert Connor and Loretta Yurick, with choreography by Connor and company dancers. It is a visually beautiful piece inspired by the four elements: air, fire, earth and water. Fire and water are the predominant elements, they are explored within a series of evocative video projections by Elena Doyle. This is a successful blend of dance and technology, continuing on from the previous DTI work, Soul Survivor. Evidence explores themes of human achievement and destruction, as the dancers progress from individual movement phrases to group moments of collective responsibility.

Te Deum is a dramatic duet, choreographed by Stefano Botto and danced by Botto and JJ Formento. The dance oscillates between the sacred and the sensual, taking place in an autumnal setting. Botto displays a powerful dramatic presence and both dancers compliment each other well, building an interesting relationship, but perhaps the piece could have developed a little further.

A Question of Distance is a recreation of Philippe Saire's subtle investigation of space and human proximity. The dance shows great attention to detail and a lightness of touch, which reveals something new on each viewing. Mark Galione's lighting design and Marc O'Neill's costumes are sumptuous and integral as the dancers create a series of playful solos, duets and ensemble routines.

One group sequence is particularly exciting as the performers dance with full energy in a tight square pool of light. One of the solos, however, is less memorable than in previous productions.

All in all, Evidence provides a satisfying and enjoyable evening of dance, combining good performances, lovely music and high production values.
