"Dancing as if language had surrendered to movement - as if this ritual, this wordless ceremony was now the way to speak. To whisper private and sacred things, to be in touch with some otherness"

Pg 84, Brian Friel

Dancing at Lughnasa is about a religious family on the cusp of accessing some pagan spirituality that connects them to each other and everything. As they dance, they dip in and out of this color, potent spirituality.
